alpha-Ionone, is used in many floral accords. Gives a violet flower nuance to compositions, but is also used in rose, woody, amber, balsamic, and powdery fragrances. It is also used in perfumery, flavoring, and vitamin A (retinol) production for cosmetics and toiletries. beta isomer shows a less floral odor than the alpha. It has good substantivity and is used in all areas of perfumery.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
