Hedione® Customer
There is only one type of Hedione® a perfumer should use: Firmenich manufactured hedione. The rest are inferior and nothing comes even close.
First used in Eau Sauvage (1966, formula below) by Edmond Roudnitstka (1.8%) Hedione is now ubiquitous, being found in virtually all fragrances today. It boosts citrus (in particular lemon), and adds a radiance and beauty that nothing else can match. From mere traces to overdose, Hedione is indispensable.
Also known as methyl dihydrojasmonate.

Hedione presents a delicate, transparent jasmine-like floral character with subtle citrus freshness reminiscent of lemon or grapefruit, complemented by ethereal, airy qualities and smooth, radiant undertones.

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.
