Oranger Crystals

Oranger crystals: an aroma chemical for use in, for example, perfume, soap or candles.

Use

Oranger crystals have a scent that is especially reminiscent of orange blossom. The odour is medium strong, but because it is a solid, making a solution can be a good idea. For example 10% in either DPG, TEC or IPM: all these make a stable solution. Typical use is in orange blossom accords, but in smaller amounts it can work well in many fragrances. Jasmine is a good example there, but also many other floral accords.

The scent is 'powdery', by which perfumers mean that it smells like old-fashioned body powders. This means, for example, that the fragrance blends nicely with vanilla (vanillin) and iris/violet (methyl ionone). You usually use between 0,1% and 10% of this substance in the fragrance composition. The smell is not intense, but even a small amount can have a recognizable effect on the fragrance. The scent is rough and unrounded, so using a larger amount in a composition is risky. It is primarily a base note in perfumes and is stable in most products, including soaps and candles.

Keep cool, dry, dark and out of reach of children.
