grape fragrance

Grape fragrance, also known by the synonym grape fleuressence as used by PerfumersWorld, is a synthetic odour material manifesting a distinct fruity note resembling ripe grape. This fragrance ingredient is commonly utilized to create or enhance sweet, fruity, and floral scent profiles in perfumery and fragranced consumer products. The scent character is primarily defined by its intense grape aroma, which can be blended with other floral or citrus notes for complex fragrance accords. Chemical databases such as PubChem provide further insights, although the exact chemical composition of grape fragrance varies by manufacturer. It is generally produced through aroma chemical synthesis or by combining various natural and artificial aroma components to replicate the nuances of grape scent.

Grape fragrance does not occur naturally but is composed to imitate the olfactory impression of grapes. It is applied broadly across fragranced products, including personal care items, household products, and air fresheners. Its use supports the creation of fruity, floral, and sweet scent profiles, commonly featured in bubble gum fragrances and compositions involving neroli or orange blossom notes. Regulatory frameworks such as IFRA (Global) provide guidelines for its use concentration to ensure fragrance safety and consumer acceptability. While grape fragrance is not intended for flavor applications, it is widely appreciated for enhancing aroma complexity in various consumer products.

This fragrance material exhibits a specific gravity ranging from 0.94 to 0.97 at 25 °C, indicating a density slightly less than water. Its refractive index lies between 1.45 and 1.48 at 20 °C, typical for aromatic oils and related compounds. Solubility tests demonstrate full solubility in alcohol, enabling easy incorporation into alcoholic-based perfumery formulations, while it is insoluble in water and paraffin oil. These characteristics influence formulation strategies, as its compatibility with solvents affects blending, stability, and olfactory performance in independent or complex fragrance matrices.
