bayberry fragrance

Bayberry fragrance is an aromatic material characterized by a distinctive spicy odor profile. It forms part of the essential scent palette in perfumery and fragranced consumer goods. This compound coalesces woody, balsamic, and evergreen notes reminiscent of fir and pine forests. It is commonly referred to simply as bayberry and is related to fragrant extracts derived from the bayberry plant. Available as a liquid, bayberry fragrance exhibits specific physico-chemical properties, including a specific gravity between 0.95 and 0.98 at 25 °C and a refractive index from 1.48 to 1.496 at 20 °C. As described in the ChEBI chemical ontology, this compound is a valued ingredient for its olfactory complexity, often used to impart a multifaceted spicy-woody character in formulations.

Bayberry fragrance occurs primarily in fragranced products, adding complex sensory depth with its spicy and balsamic notes that evoke autumnal and evergreen environments. Its natural associations range from needle-like fir balsam and pine forests to warm spices such as cinnamon, clove blossom, and ginger. The fragrance finds utility across multiple product types, including personal care, household, and ambient scent applications. According to IFRA (Global) standards, bayberry fragrance is recommended solely for fragrance purposes and not for flavoring use. It can contribute to compositions with herbal, woody, and resinous accords, enhancing the sensory complexity of fragrances and consumer goods alike.

Bayberry fragrance is a liquid at standard room temperatures, displaying a specific gravity between 0.95 and 0.98 specifically measured at 25 °C. Its refractive index ranges from 1.48 to 1.496 at 20 °C, indicative of its presence as a dense aromatic oil. The material is soluble in alcohol, which allows for facile incorporation into ethanol-based perfumery products, but it is insoluble in paraffin oil, limiting formulation choices with hydrocarbon-based carriers. These properties influence its volatility, miscibility, and overall behavior in fragrance bases, highlighting its suitability for diverse fragranced product matrices.
