Chemistry & Uses

Chemistry & Uses

Uses in perfumery :

Peonile® is used in fougere, hesperidic and floral compositions, to bring a geranium nuance. It brings tenacity to functional compositions, over all in fabric care bases.

Year of discovery :

1923

Natural availability :

Peonile® is not found in nature. It is thus impossible to obtain it on a natural state.

Isomerism :

Peonile® does not have any isomer used in pefumery.

Synthesis precursor :

Peonile® is not a precursor for the synthesis of another compound of olfactive interest.

Synthesis route :

Peonile® is obtained in one single step, using phenylacetonitrile and cyclohexanone, by forming an azeotrope (this means that they can mix on a vapour state, by heating the reaction medium). This reaction is done under alkaline conditions, and leads to the formation of water.

Stability :

Very stable in perfumes and in all functional bases, except very alkaline bases as liquid bleach.

Other comments :

The main characteristic of Peonile® is its tenacity. It ables to keep a rose note during a few weeks on a blopper.
Good synergy with Javanol®, in 80/20 proportions (rich, rosy and fruity sandalwood).
