freesia fragrance

Freesia fragrance is a synthetic or blended compound delivering a characteristic floral aroma reminiscent of the freesia flower. It is widely recognized for its fresh, bright, and soft floral notes that evoke a springtime bouquet. This fragrance material appears as a liquid with specific physicochemical properties enabling its use in various fragranced products. Freesia fragrance is also referred to simply as "freesia" in trade contexts and is distinct from natural freesia essential oils. As a fragrance ingredient, it is referenced in public chemical repositories such as PubChem and is primarily sourced or formulated for use in perfumery and personal care to convey floral accords.

Freesia fragrance does not naturally occur as a single isolated compound but represents an aroma composition inspired by the freesia flower's scent. Its use spans fragranced products of all types including perfumes, cosmetics, personal care items, and household products. Its floral character makes it suitable for blending with complementary notes such as apple blossom, bergamot, cherry blossom, and jasmine-like accords to create complex bouquets or country meadow scents. Regulatory standards such as IFRA (Global) provide guidance on safe usage levels within these product categories, ensuring compatibility with consumer safety and formulation requirements.

Freesia fragrance exhibits a specific gravity ranging from 0.89 to 0.93 at 25 °C, indicating a liquid density slightly lower than water. Its refractive index lies between 1.468 and 1.478 at 20 °C, consistent with typical fragrance oils. The compound dissolves readily in solvents like alcohol and paraffin oil, facilitating its incorporation into various formulations. However, it is insoluble in water, which impacts solubility considerations during product development. These properties influence handling, blending, and stability in fragranced applications, providing formulators with essential data for optimizing sensory performance and product consistency.
