Cetonal is a fascinating material with nuances of tobacco, leather, iris, animals and wood. It has a low odour profile but is surprisingly long lasting and quite profound in its effects at even very low doses (below one percent).
According to Givaudan, “Orris, Woody, Powerful. Cetonal is an elegant ingredient used in woody, orris accords as well as with leather, tobacco and animal notes where it acts as an excellent blending agent and adds to the harmony of a fragrance.”
In high demand with low availability, we are currently one of the the only suppliers of this material in retail quantities.

“If Violiff and methyl furyl butanal are violently green violet, cetonal is delicately and velvety floral green. Cetonal has as methyl furyl butanal shades of frankincense. It is the heart of my base Incentsia in which I use some of the chemicals mentioned before, including galbanum and unusual juniper berry odorants[…], in addition to dihydro- ionone, boronal, boronia absolute and other strange and rare new ingredients.
Cetonal is extremely soft, and its accords with Cashmeran, dihydro-ionone and other amber odorants are paramount. Cetonal is fantastic in an accord with norlimbanol, ambrocenide, Ysamber K (Symrise), ambrinoloxide and Somalian frankincense oil (which is different than the Omani frankincense, yet still imparts interesting effects). I could spend hours mentioning the accords achieved with cetonal, but this would go beyond the bounds of this already long work. Suffice it to say that the material is impressive and one of my favorites.”
