hawthorn specialty

Hawthorn specialty is a fragrance material characterized by a distinct floral odor, often incorporated within perfume compositions. Also known under synonyms such as hawthorn base 1 and hawthorn perfume base, this material serves as a base in fragrance formulations contributing a delicate floral scent profile. The compound’s molecular and compositional details can be explored through chemical databases like PubChem. Typically derived or formulated for use in perfumery, it offers formulators versatility within aromatic blends. Its appearance and exact chemical structure are proprietary, but the sensory description is noted at 10 % concentration in dipropylene glycol, emphasizing the floral notes.

This fragrance agent is primarily applied in the formulation of perfumes and related fragrance products. Although hawthorn plants are biologically common in temperate regions, this specialty product represents a distilled or synthesized base used to replicate or enhance the floral scent associated with hawthorn flowers. Regulatory frameworks such as IFRA (Global) provide standards that guide the recommended usage levels, ensuring safe and appropriate application in fragranced consumer goods. Usage is advised not to exceed 3.0 % concentration in fragrance concentrates to maintain compliance and performance.

Hawthorn specialty's physical properties influence its handling and formulation behavior. It exhibits a specific gravity ranging from 0.98 to 1.02 at 25 °C, indicating density close to water, while the refractive index lies between 1.49 and 1.53 at 20 °C, reflective of its optical characteristics. The material’s flash point is recorded at 179 °F (approximately 82.8 °C), indicating moderate volatility and flammability under standard conditions. Solubility profiles show that it dissolves readily in alcohol yet remains insoluble in water, guiding formulators toward appropriate solvent systems. The shelf life extends to 24 months or longer when stored in a cool, dry place away from heat and light inside tightly sealed containers to preserve integrity.
