Damascone Beta is a highly powerful aroma chemical used in fine perfumery and fragrance formulations. It belongs to the damascone family of compounds associated with the characteristic aroma profile of roses. It has an intense, sophisticated odor described as rosy, fruity, floral, woody and slightly tobacco-like, with plum and berry nuances. Because of its high odor strength, relatively small amounts can have a significant effect on a fragrance composition. Damascone Beta is particularly valuable in rose accords, where it adds depth, naturalness and diffusion rather than simply producing a straightforward rose smell. It can make floral compositions smell richer and more complex. It is used in fine perfumes, eau de parfum, body sprays, fragrance oils, creams, lotions, soaps, shampoos, conditioners, body washes, deodorants and other fragranced cosmetic products.
