Understanding Hedione's Subtle Scent and Lilac Fragrance Availability
Question
I purchased Methyl dihydrojasmonate (Hedione) ([url=https://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/jasmine-%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%B0%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B4/2665-methyl-dihydrojasmonate-hedione.html:2fza3xbu]Methyl dihydrojasmonate[/url:2fza3xbu] or [url=https://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/jasmine-%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%B0%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B4/2665-methyl-dihydrojasmonate-hedione.html:2fza3xbu]hedione[/url:2fza3xbu]) and expected a fresh, clear jasmine scent based on descriptions found online (100% consistent across sources), but it seems odorless when smelled directly from the bottle, like smelling plain water. Why is this the case? Also, do you sell a Lilac fragrance oil ([url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/319-%E0%B8%AB%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%A7%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%99%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%AB%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A1:2fza3xbu]fragrance oil[/url:2fza3xbu])?
Answer
Understanding Methyl Dihydrojasmonate (Hedione)
It's common to find that Methyl Dihydrojasmonate, also known as Hedione, smells very subtle or even seems odorless when smelled directly from the bottle. While it is described as having a fresh, clear jasmine-like scent, its character is often more diffusive, radiant, and transparent rather than a strong, distinct floral note.
Hedione is highly valued in perfumery not just for its own subtle scent, but for its ability to enhance and brighten other fragrance components, adding lift, diffusion, and a sense of freshness and space to a composition. Its effect is often more noticeable in a finished fragrance blend than in isolation.
So, the experience of smelling little to no scent from pure Hedione is normal and reflects its unique properties as a perfumery ingredient.
