acacia fragrance

Acacia fragrance, sometimes called cassie fragrance, is a fragrance ingredient notable for its spicy odour profile. It appears as a liquid and is widely utilized in various fragranced products. Chemically, it is characterized by a specific gravity ranging between 0.98 and 1 at 25 °C and a refractive index from 1.49 to 1.51 at 20 °C. This substance is soluble in alcohol and paraffin oil, which enhances its versatility in formulation, but it does not dissolve in water. The compound is referenced under standard chemical databases, including PubChem. Derived typically from botanical sources associated with the Acacia genus, it serves as a key note in perfumery reflecting floral and spicy attributes.

Acacia fragrance naturally occurs or is derived from botanical sources related to Acacia species. Its aroma is commonly described as spicy and floral, making it suitable for a range of fragranced products such as perfumes, personal care items, and household fragrances. The fragrance is often employed to impart notes including acacia, amber, cassia, apple, and oriental themes. Some notable formulations incorporating this fragrance include well-known parfum blends like Apres L'Ondee and Joy. It complies with usage guidelines established by standards such as FEMA (US), which governs flavor and fragrance ingredient use in consumer products. Its solubility properties facilitate incorporation into alcohol-based and oil-based formulations, expanding its applicability.

Acacia fragrance exhibits a specific gravity between 0.98 and 1 at 25 °C, implying a density close to that of water but slightly less or equal, which aids in precise formulation dosages. Its refractive index ranges from 1.49 to 1.51 at 20 °C, which can assist in quality control and purity assessment. The fragrance is readily soluble in alcohol and paraffin oil, promoting its use in a variety of perfumery vehicles, but shows no solubility in water, indicating hydrophobic characteristics. These properties influence its evaporation rate, blending behaviour, and stability within formulas, essential factors for fragrance designers and product developers.
