Hedione – Radiant Jasmine-Floral Molecule for Modern Perfumery

Hedione is a revolutionary aroma chemical known for its radiant, fresh, and slightly citrusy jasmine note. With its delicate and diffusive floral character, Hedione is used in nearly every modern fragrance as a middle note enhancer and transparency booster. Originally made famous by Eau Sauvage (Dior, 1966), it continues to be a perfumer’s secret weapon for adding elegance, freshness, and a "glow" to floral and citrus compositions.

Unlike traditional floral notes, Hedione is subtle yet powerful. It doesn’t dominate the blend but rather opens up the heart of the fragrance, making it feel more natural, airy, and expansive. It works beautifully with jasmine, neroli, bergamot, Iso E Super, and woody-musky bases.
