DESCRIPTION
Hedione® is a legendary molecule of contemporary perfumery, famous for its floral, transparent, and luminous scent with nuances of jasmine, citrus, and white musk.
Introduced in the 1960s and still considered an olfactory revolution, it lends fragrances a soft, elegant, naturally radiant aura, enhancing diffusion and the sensation of purity. Its effect is unique: it does not dominate, but expands the aroma of other materials, making it airier, more sensual, and more persistent.
Today, Hedione is an essential raw material in fine perfumery, artistic perfumery, and luxury cosmetics—synonymous with modernity, sophistication, and olfactory harmony.
PERFUMERY
In perfumery, Hedione® is a heart note used to bring brightness, elegance, and naturalness to floral, citrus, and musky compositions. Its soft, transparent aroma recalls fresh jasmine with nuances of lemon and green tea, adding balance and sparkle to the bouquet.
It is a molecule that “breathes” within the formula: it opens, lightens, and harmonizes the structure of the perfume, improving diffusion and longevity. It pairs perfectly with rose, bergamot, vetiver, white woods, iris, and musks, and is present in hundreds of iconic creations, both masculine and feminine.
Essential for creating modern, airy, and refined fragrances, Hedione is the key to achieving a natural and radiant floral effect, beloved by master perfumers.
