tuberose absolute replacer

Tuberose absolute replacer is a synthetic fragrance ingredient designed to replicate the complex floral aroma of Polianthes tuberosa, known commonly as tuberose. This odorant exhibits a floral fragrance that includes sweet, spicy, honeysuckle, balsamic, orangeflower, and ylang nuances, providing a richly layered scent profile valued in perfumery. Typically presented as a concentrated material, it finds use as a substitute for natural tuberose absolute to deliver similar olfactory effects. Alternative names span several supplier designations such as tuberose 3004, tuberdise, and tubereuse floraline 80. The ingredient is typically sourced via chemical synthesis or blending of aroma chemicals to mimic the natural absolute's sensory signature, with thorough characterization cataloged in controlled vocabulary resources like PubChem. It appears as a non-water-soluble but alcohol-soluble substance, favorable for use in alcohol-based fragrance formulations.

While tuberose absolute replacer does not occur naturally, it functions as an artificial substitute for the scent of tuberose flowers, offering an alternative that avoids some limitations associated with natural absolutes such as sustainability or cost. This material is chiefly applied in fragrance creations where a gardenia or tuberose-like floral character is desired, often in perfumes, personal care products, and fine fragrances. Its strong substantivity, lasting approximately 400 hours, renders it valuable in maintaining scent longevity on skin or in products. The ingredient's use is subject to industry standards such as the IFRA (Global) Code of Practice, which restricts its maximum concentration to 5% in fragrance concentrates to ensure safe usage.

Tuberose absolute replacer demonstrates solubility in alcohols while showing no solubility in water, aligning with typical properties of concentrated fragrance materials designed for incorporation into alcohol-based bases. These solubility characteristics influence formulation approaches, making it compatible with ethanol and similar solvents commonly used in perfumery but unsuitable for aqueous applications. The compound's physico-chemical profile supports stable incorporation in perfumes and cosmetic products, providing the desired floral olfactory profile and sustained release due to its substantivity. Lack of precise data on vapor pressure or molecular weight suggests its properties align with blend components characteristic of fragrance absolutes and analogues.
