Phenoxanol® (IFF)

Phenoxanol® is a fragrance molecule with a diffusive, floral signature, strongly reminiscent of rose absolute.

Chemically, it belongs to the aromatic ethers and is known for its high stability and slow evaporation, contributing to a long-lasting scent experience.

The fragrance opens with a bright, fresh floral note, which gradually deepens into a soft, almost velvety sweetness, akin to the delicate nuances of natural rose extracts.

Due to its high olfactory impact, it is widely used in fine perfumery, but also in functional fragrance applications such as soaps, hair products, and deodorants, where it demonstrates excellent longevity and good formulation stability.
