Clonal
Clonal by IFF is a refined citrus ingredient designed to elevate modern fragrance compositions with a distinctive dry orange peel character.
Perfectly suited for citrus accords and bergamot-driven cologne styles, it delivers a crisp, textured brightness that feels both natural and sophisticated.
Unlike sweeter or juicier citrus notes, Clonal introduces a nuanced dryness—evoking the elegant bitterness of freshly zested orange peel—adding depth, structure, and longevity to top notes.
This makes it an exceptional choice for perfumers seeking to create fresh yet enduring openings that transition seamlessly into the heart of a fragrance.
Renowned for its excellent stability, Clonal maintains its integrity throughout the formulation and wear, ensuring consistency from first impression to dry-down.
A versatile and dependable material, it is ideal for fine fragrance, colognes, and contemporary citrus blends where clarity, sophistication, and performance are essential.
