Hedione® is one of the most iconic and widely used aroma molecules in perfumery, created by dsm-firmenich. Known for its delicate jasmine-like, floral, and slightly citrusy character, Hedione® is prized for its ability to bring airiness, radiance, and natural freshness to a fragrance composition. It enhances the perception of other notes, making them feel more open, luminous, and elegant.
