pear fragrance

Pear fragrance is a synthetic odorant known for its distinctly fruity and juicy character, encompassing tropical, fleshy, and green apple-like notes with lactonic undertones. This compound functions primarily as a scent ingredient in various fragranced products, contributing a fresh and seedy apple quality that enhances fruit-related aromas. Synonyms in industry sources may include pear aroma or fruit essence. Its chemical profile supports clear sensory registration of familiar pear and related fruit scents. For exact chemical data and structural details, controlled vocabularies such as PubChem provide further references. Pear fragrance is typically formulated from synthetic precursors tailored to replicate pear notes without direct extraction from natural fruit.

Although not naturally occurring, pear fragrance simulates the scent profile of pear and related fruits, including peach, peach blossom, and plum. It finds application across fragranced products of all types, enhancing compositions with fruity and lactonic green notes. Its use aligns with standards for fragrance ingredients such as those outlined by FEMA (US), guiding safe incorporation levels into consumer goods. Pear fragrance contributes olfactory complexity to perfumery, personal care, and household products by delivering recognizable and appealing fruit odours in both ambient and close-contact settings.

Pear fragrance exhibits a specific gravity ranging from 0.95 to 0.97 at 25 °C, indicating a density slightly less than water. Its refractive index varies between 1.46 and 1.48 at 20 °C, suggesting optical properties consistent with many fragrance oils. The compound dissolves readily in alcohol but is insoluble in water, which affects formulation strategies, particularly concerning solubility and stability in aqueous or hydroalcoholic matrices. These physico-chemical traits guide its effective use in fragranced products, influencing blending, dispersion, and evaporation behavior to optimize scent performance.
