carnation absolute replacer

Carnation absolute replacer is a synthetic fragrance material designed to replicate the characteristic scent of carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) flowers. It exhibits a spicy aroma infused with honey, herbal, and floral nuances that contribute complexity to fragrance compositions. The material is also known under synonyms such as dianthus caryophyllus absolute replacer, oeillet floraline 57 (Charabot), and oeillet mignardise RI. Unlike natural absolutes extracted from the flower, this replacer offers a consistent olfactory profile and formulation stability. Its chemical and sensory characteristics are documented in sources like PubChem. Sourcing of this compound typically occurs through specialized fragrance ingredient manufacturers who produce synthetic or semi-synthetic aroma chemicals suitable for perfumery uses.

Carnation absolute replacer does not occur naturally but is formulated as a substitute for natural carnation absolute in fragrance production. It is widely utilized by perfumers as a fragrance agent to impart spicy, floral, and honey-like notes in various product categories including perfumes, cosmetics, and personal care items. The use of this compound complies with guidelines established by IFRA (Global), which provides recommendations on safe usage concentrations to ensure consumer safety. It is specifically identified for fragrance use only and is not authorized for flavoring applications. The material’s reproducible scent profile supports consistent batch-to-batch formulation in commercial perfumery.

Carnation absolute replacer is soluble in alcoholic solvents, facilitating its incorporation into ethanol-based perfume blends and other alcoholic formulations. By contrast, it lacks water solubility, indicating limited performance in aqueous or hydro-alcoholic systems without solubilizers or emulsifiers. These solubility characteristics influence the compound’s formulation strategies, requiring compatibility with lipophilic bases or alcohol carriers. The aromatic profile combining spicy, honey, herbal, and floral elements is stable under typical room temperature conditions and lends itself to complex olfactory builds. Although detailed thermodynamic data are not provided, the known physicochemical traits suggest usability in alcohol-dominant matrices with standard handling precautions.
