cherry fragrance

Cherry fragrance is a synthetic aroma compound widely employed for imparting fruity and cherry-like notes in perfumery and fragranced products. It exhibits a distinct odor reminiscent of sweet cherries combined with almond blossom accents. Known also by trade names like cherry fleuressence, this material is characterized by its rich, fruity scent profile that enhances various fragrance formulations. It appears as a liquid with specific gravity ranging from 1.014 to 1.04 at 25 °C and a refractive index between 1.48 and 1.51 at 20 °C. This fragrance ingredient is primarily derived through chemical synthesis rather than direct extraction from natural cherries, which can vary in composition. For detailed chemical data, users can consult databases such as PubChem. The compound is soluble in alcohol but not in mineral or paraffin oil, which impacts its formulation compatibility.

Cherry fragrance is not naturally occurring but is synthesized to mimic the characteristic scent of cherries and related fruits. It finds extensive use in fragranced products of all types, where its almond, cherry blossom, and fruity bouquet enrich the olfactory complexity. The scent exhibits additional nuances that resemble berry jam, black currant, passion fruit, and floral notes such as frangipani and marigold. Regulatory standards like FEMA (US) guide its use specifically in perfumery and fragrance formulations, though it is not approved for flavoring purposes and should not be used as a flavoring ingredient. Its presence is prominent in perfumes, candles, personal care products, and air fresheners where a cherry sweet aroma is desirable.

The physical properties of cherry fragrance influence its behavior in formulations. It possesses a specific gravity slightly above water at room temperature, specifically between 1.014 and 1.04 at 25 °C, indicating a denser-than-water liquid. Its refractive index, measured between 1.48 and 1.51 at 20 °C, reflects its optical density and purity. The compound dissolves readily in alcohol, facilitating its integration into alcoholic-based perfumes and products. However, it remains insoluble in nonpolar solvents such as mineral oil and paraffin oil, which limits its use in oil-based applications. These solubility characteristics and density parameters are essential considerations for formulators to achieve desired scent dispersion and stability.
