heather fragrance

Heather fragrance is a synthetic or naturally derived compound characterized by a soft floral odor reminiscent of heather blossoms. It belongs to the class of aromatic substances utilized extensively in perfumery and fragranced product formulation. This fragrance offers distinctive alpine bouquet notes that contribute to complex olfactory blends. Synonyms are uncommon, but it may be listed simply as 'heather' in some contexts. The compound data is linked to the controlled vocabulary term for fragrance substances on PubChem. Heather fragrance is typically sourced from chemical synthesis or extraction of botanicals bearing similar scent profiles. Its clear floral character makes it valuable in many scent compositions.

Heather fragrance occurs predominantly as a formulated ingredient in fragranced goods rather than as a naturally abundant compound. It appears widely in products spanning personal care, household items, and fine perfumes. According to the FEMA (US) standard, it is considered suitable for use in fragranced products of all types. The fragrance is known for evoking alpine bouquet, amber, woody, and balsam-like notes, making it highly versatile. It also finds specific odor roles related to baby powder, clover, cedar forest, and herbal themes. While not indicated for flavoring use, it is appreciated for clean aromatic effects in fragrance applications.

Heather fragrance possesses a specific gravity ranging from 0.89 to 0.98 at 25 °C, indicating it is slightly less dense than water. Its refractive index lies between 1.48 and 1.5 at 20 °C, reflecting moderate optical density consistent with many aromatic liquids. Solubility characteristics include compatibility with alcohol and paraffin oil, enhancing its versatility for blending in alcohol-based perfumes and oil-infused formulations. It is insoluble in water, which suggests typical behavior for many hydrophobic aromatic compounds. These physical parameters influence formulation strategies, affecting miscibility and stability in various fragrance product matrices.
