NeoFolione: a sparkling green violet elevator that opens each chord with clarity, fresh leaf and transparent elegance.
Fragrance profile:
- Character: Green, violet-like, fresh-diffuse with a bright “leaf” accent.
- Top facets: Green leaves, slightly fruity (melon/pear), a touch waxy and watery.
- Heart facets: Violet (ionone-related), muguet elevator, subtle herbal and soapy-clean.
- Background: Softly waxy and slightly oily-esterified; no heavy musk or balsamic aftertaste.
- Texture and diffusion: sparklingand penetrating, opens quickly and ventilates a chord; medium persistence.
- Emotional impression: Fresh garden after rain, crisp leaves, transparent flowers.
Behavior in compositions
- Role: Booster/modifier for violet, muguet and green accords; gives elevator and “cleanness.”
- Compatible partners: Ionones, methyl ionone, cis-3-hexenol/hexenyl acetate, muguet materials (adhelone, bourgeonal), light aldehydes (C6-C9), and tea/ozonic nuances.
- Contrast materials: Benzoates, ylang, rose and musk to round out and anchor the green sharpness.
- Overdose effect: Quickly becomes detergent-like, harsh and soapy; can overshadow florals and make the blend appear “thin.”
Application Tips
- Moment of use: For fresh florals, green tea, violet , laundry-clean and aquatic themes.
- Purpose: To add brightness and elevator without weight; ideal for creating an “airy” top and heart.
Why we offer 10% in DPG
- Dosing: easier and more accurate (pipette-friendly, less “overdosing”).
- Compatibility: DPG mixes well with alcohol and most fragrance concentrates.
- Safety/handling: less intense odor in pure form, more pleasant to handle.
- Method: If you normally want to use 0.1% pure NeoFolione in your concentré, add 1% of the 10% solution (equivalent to 0.1% pure).
Formulation tips
- Lead-in dosage: Traces-0.1% to elevator violin/ionone chords without “saltiness.”
- Balancing: Combine with ionones, muguet materials or light aldehydes to direct the green tone.
- Avoid overdosing: Above ~1% (pure) it quickly becomes dominant, harsh and “detergent-like.”
- Batch variation: Check each batch for intensity with a small blotter test panel; titration prevents surprises.
| Application | Usual dosage in concentrate | Remark |
|---|---|---|
| Fine Perfume (EDT/EDP) | 0.05-0.5% | Impact molecule: start low (0.05-0.1%) and titrate on. |
| Fragrance for cosmetics (leave-on). | 0.02-0.2% | Match to IFRA category and skin sensitivity. |
| Hair care (rinse-off) | 0.05-0.3% | Good diffusion without becoming too "soapy." |
| Home fragrance (room spray) | 0.1-0.8% | Note sharp green tone at high dosage. |
| Candles | 0.1-0.6% (in odor comp.) | Test for hot throw; can quickly dominate "green". |
| Soaps/detergents | 0.1-0.7% | Consider alkaline environment; try low first. |
Practical Tip:
Start with microdoses (traces to 0.05%) and increase incrementally.
The material speaks quickly through a chord, especially with florals and green themes.
NeoFolione is a potent, green-violet ester often used as a booster for violet and fresh floral accords.
It is green, diffusive and stable in many applications.
Ionones provide the powdery violet base that NeoFolione can elevator on top of;
Cis-3-hexenol and esters such as hexenyl acetate add immediate foliar greenness that enhances the "garden-after-rain" impression.
Practical mixing tips
- Start low and titrate. Start with traces-0.05% in perfumes; increase incrementally until desired effect. Important: NeoFolione speaks quickly through a chord; too much makes it "soapy/detergent" (cleanser) in tone.
- Building layer upon layer. First, lay a base of ionone or a soft violet base (0.05-0.5%), then add NeoFolione in microdoses to create elevator and diffusion.
- Use contrast. Add a soft benzoate or a light musk to soften and add depth to the sharp green. Aldehydes (light C7-C9) can accentuate freshness without "cutting."
- Short advice: work with microdoses, build layers (ionone → NeoFolione → softeners) and use a 10% premix for safe, reproducible dosing.
- Solvent and premix. A 10% solution in DPG is common for accurate dosing; 1% of that solution = 0.1% pure material. This makes pipetting and small batches reliable.
