rose oil replacer

Rose oil replacer is a synthetic aromatic substance used primarily in fragrance formulation to emulate the scent of natural rose oil. It is characterized by a floral, spicy, winey, and waxy odor profile often described as a fresh floral rose with subtle honey and fruity undertones. Known by various trade names including attarose CLP, rose otto 6515, and rosessence 193 family, it serves as a versatile rose-like fragrance note. The molecular details and physical attributes align closely with typical rose oil fractions, providing a reliable synthetic alternative. This compound is listed in controlled-vocabulary sources such as PubChem and is produced through proprietary blending techniques to imitate Bulgarian rose oil aroma. It does not derive directly from rose plant extractions but is designed through synthetic chemistry methods to offer stable, long-lasting floral notes in various fragrance applications.

Though rose oil replacer does not occur naturally, it is designed as a substitute for natural rose oil and its principal components found in Rosa damascena and Rosa centifolia species. It finds broad application as a fragrance agent to impart a fresh floral rose note with honey and fruity nuances in perfumery. This material is particularly useful where natural rose oil’s cost, variability, or supply constraints pose challenges. Standards such as IFRA (Global) provide guidelines on safe usage levels, recommending up to 50% in fragrance concentrates. Its use extends to creating accords reflecting coronilla or buckingham flowers, expanding its utility beyond simple rose scents. The compound’s fragrance character makes it valuable in fine fragrances, toiletries, and personal care formulations seeking synthetic rose aroma fidelity.

Rose oil replacer exhibits a specific gravity ranging from 0.984 to 0.994 at 25°C, indicating a density slightly less than water. Its refractive index spans 1.501 to 1.513 at 20°C, consistent with typical essential oil components. Solubility characteristics include good solubility in alcohol, supporting its blending in alcohol-based perfumes, while it remains insoluble in water. These properties facilitate its incorporation into fragrance formulations, allowing stability and homogeneity in hydro-alcoholic systems. The physical parameters influence evaporation rates and olfactory perception, aiding perfumers in matching natural rose oil’s aroma profile. The compound's chemical stability and absence of aqueous solubility affect its usage in emulsions and personal care products where water content varies.
