Application
Gamma-Methyl Ionone (CAS 1322-70-9) is a premium synthetic fragrance ingredient renowned for its sweet, violet-like floral aroma with warm woody, powdery orris, and subtle fruity undertones. Its excellent fixative properties slow down the evaporation of volatile components, extending the longevity of fragrances on skin and in products. This versatility makes it a staple in fine perfumery, colognes, cosmetics, soaps, shampoos, and household items such as laundry detergents, fabric softeners, air fresheners, and scented candles, where it acts as a blender and an effective fixative. It blends harmoniously with woody, leathery, oriental, and floral accords, adding depth and volume to compositions like violet, osmanthus, lily, chypre, and oriental types. In food applications, it serves as a flavor enhancer, approved under FEMA 2711 for use in candy, baked goods, and fruity confectionery.
