hawthorn fragrance

Hawthorn fragrance refers to a floral-scented aroma compound that replicates the characteristic odor associated with the hawthorn plant, scientifically addressed in botanical contexts like PubChem. It is also known as may blossom fragrance in perfumery and aroma applications. This compound typically appears as a liquid and exudes a delicate floral hawthorn note, which lends a natural and fresh character to fragrance blends. The fragrance is usually derived through extraction or synthetic reproduction of natural hawthorn bud and blossom elements to capture its complexity. Its distinctive sensory profile makes it valuable for incorporation in a wide range of fragranced products, including personal care and household items.

Hawthorn fragrance occurs as a synthetic or extracted aromatic ingredient simulating the floral essence found in the Crataegus genus. Its primary application spans fragranced products of all types, serving as a floral odorant to enhance scent compositions for personal and ambient use. Due to the scope of its aroma, it finds roles in fine fragrances, body care, cosmetics, and household deodorants. Usage aligns with relevant fragrance standards such as FEMA (US), which classifies aromachemicals for perfumery rather than flavoring. The compound's role is strictly as an odor agent with no flavor use authorization, emphasizing its contribution exclusively to olfactory characteristics.

Hawthorn fragrance demonstrates solubility in alcohol, which facilitates its integration into ethanol-based perfume formulations and other alcohol-containing products. Its insolubility in water indicates a need for suitable solubilizers or emulsifiers when used in aqueous systems. These properties impact formulation strategies, requiring adequate dispersal methods to ensure consistent scent release and stability. The compound's physicochemical nature dictates its handling and storage conditions, as it favors alcohol solvents for solution and dilution. No significant chemical hazards have been identified, supporting its use under typical perfumery conditions without specialized precautions.
