Paradisone
Paradisone is a synthetic fragrance molecule developed by Firmenich in the 1990s as an alternative to natural jasmine. It offers a fresh, airy, and slightly lemony scent, capturing the essence of jasmine with enhanced stability and cost-effectiveness. Paradisone imparts a delicate floral character and is often used as a middle note to create a light, uplifting composition. It pairs beautifully with other floral, citrus, and green notes, contributing to fragrances that are fresh, elegant, and full of grace.
History & Production: Paradisone was first synthesized by Firmenich in the 1990s to address the scarcity and high cost of natural jasmine. The molecule is created through chemical synthesis, allowing perfumers to incorporate a jasmine-like note into compositions without relying on natural jasmine. Paradisone has become a staple in modern perfumery, valued for its ability to add a fresh, floral touch that enhances the lightness and elegance of fragrances, evoking a sense of purity and natural beauty.
