About

Pharaone is a Givaudan captive with a green-fruity smell, closest to pineapple. It is a top-note booster: extremely powerful, extremely diffusive, and used in small amounts to put lift and freshness on an accord.

Scent Profile

Pharaone smells green first, a crisp freshness. Close behind it sits a fruity character close to pineapple, tropical rather than orchard-like. It is a lifted top note built for freshness.

Pharaone® 1,6-heptadien-3-one, 2-cyclohexyl- orchid · galbanum · weedy

Smell words come from published sources.

A given perfume with this note may use this material, or something else.

Origin

A single synthetic molecule, 2-cyclohexyl-1,6-heptadien-3-one, CAS 313973-37-4, listed as material `1-6-heptadien-3-one-2-cyclohexyl`. It is a constitutional isomer of alpha-ionone, beta-ionone, alpha-damascone and beta-damascone, but it does not smell like that family. ScenTree is explicit: it 'has a much fruitier smell, close to pineapple'. It does not occur in nature, so there is no plant extraction of it. The Perfumer's Apprentice sells it at 10 per cent in DPG.

Usage in Perfumery

A green booster in the top note with a fruity effect, at low dosage. It gives freshness and lift to top and heart. ScenTree names one specific pairing: nine parts Stemone to one part Pharaone makes a tomato-leaf effect.
