ABOUT

Damascone is a family of potent rose ketones, occurring naturally in roses and blackcurrant, with a lush fruity-rosy scent that blends velvety petals with facets of plum, apple, berry jam, honeyed tea, tobacco leaf, and soft woods. Used in trace amounts, it amplifies the naturalness, depth, and diffusion of rose and other florals, bridges sparkling fruity top notes to the heart, and imparts a winey, autumnal warmth in chypres, tobacco, leather, and gourmand compositions.
