What does Alpha-Ionone smell like?

Soft, sweet violet with woody-orris undertones and a subtle raspberry fruitiness, smoother and more floral than the beta isomer. Cornerstone of violet accords and a rounding agent across floral, fruity and woody compositions.

Published formulas using Alpha-Ionone

PerfuMate's own reference accords, published to its community, that reach for this material. The figure is its share of the concentrate.

What blends well with Alpha-Ionone?

Read from the published accords rather than asserted: these materials appear beside Alpha-Ionone in at least two of the reference accords published to the PerfuMate community.

Which materials are closest to Alpha-Ionone?

Ranked by how many olfactive sub-categories they share with Alpha-Ionone, not alphabetically.

How much does PerfuMate know about one material?

What this page carries, beside what the whole catalog carries. Every figure on the right is counted from the file the app ships, at the moment this page was built, so it cannot drift from the product the way a sentence somebody typed would.

And the limits, because they decide how far the rest can be trusted. Every regulatory join - IFRA, GHS, allergens - is by CAS number, and a material can supply one through its constituents as well as its own row, so of the 428 materials carrying no CAS number the 127 without a constituent table are the ones that return "nothing known" rather than "nothing applies". The blotter hours are sourced rather than measured by us, and the app labels every one of them an estimate. There is no physical chemistry on a row: no molecular weight, no vapour pressure, no boiling point. The longer answer, or the whole catalog counted.
