REF: 989330Synonyms: Watermelon Ketone Classification: Base Note[i]
Calone® 1951 was discovered in 1966 by chemists from Camilli, Albert & Laloue a fragrance company founded in 1830 and owned by Coty until 1963. It was an accidental discovery in the process of inventing a new tranquilliser which eventually came to be known as Valium. It was named for the first letter of the company (C, A, L + Ketone). The “1951” relates to the chemical registration number.
Calone, a crystalline substance, has the most wonderful odour of fresh air and water with hints of watermelon. It set the stage for the '90s after its patent expired and it began to enter mass production. Fragrances of especial interest were Issey Miyake's L'eau d'Issey (1992) by Jacques Cavallier, Pierre Bourdon's Cool Water for Davidoff (1988), and Aramis New West For Her (1990) by MANE's Yves Tanguy with its 1.2% overdose.
Calone® Plus is a Fraterworks® manufactured 50% dilution of Firmenich's quality of this aroma chemical fortified with traces of other materials to round it out and boost its performance. This product is easy to use because it comes in a liquid form, making it a cinch to add to your formulas.

Calone delivers an intensely fresh sea-breeze character with prominent watermelon-like fruitiness, subtle floral undertones, and a distinctive mineralic-oyster facet that emerges at higher concentrations, creating the signature scent of 1990s aquatic perfumery.
Revolutionary aquatic note creating sea-breeze effects, lifting florals, and defining marine fragrance families.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.
