Hedione
Aroma Chemical Base Note CAS 24851-98-7
Soft, fresh and radiant with a transparent jasmine floralcy and an airy, green citrus lift, without the heavy indolic side of natural jasmine. It adds volume, naturalness and diffusion, and bridges the top and heart as a versatile floral blender.

Both tenacity figures are blotter life. The two labs use different evaluation protocols, so the numbers are not directly comparable — read them as two independent readings, not as a contradiction.
