About this material
Fructone by IFF is a ketal compound known for its fruity Pineapple, Strawberry, Apple and sweet tropical fruit notes; that gives a fragrance both body and tenacity.
It complements floral bases such as Jasmine, Tuberose and Gardenia, as well as spicy fragrances, providing interesting aromatic enhancements and exhibiting similarities to the alkyl-substituted Cyclo-pentenones, making it a versatile option in perfumery.
Possessing a strong fragrance; it is often described as being wine-like or having an odour not to disimilar to that of cooked strawberries.
The scent of strawberries can be achieved using Aldehyde C16, also known as ‘Strawberry Glycidate’ although it primarily smells like apples, but to truly realise the essence of Strawberry; we suggest combining Fructone with Ethyl Maltol and for Wild Strawberries; add Methyl Anthranilate into the mix.
When combined with Frambinone and Beta Ionone, you can effectively re-create the illusion of the smell of Raspberries. Adding Cis-3-Hexenol can provide a sour, green quality, while Geraniol offers a taste reminiscent of lipstick.
Fructone is a valued contributor when it comes to recreating the scent of Apples. For Green Apples, combine Fructone with Cis-3-Hexenal and Benzyl Acetate. For Red Apples, combine with Hexyl Acetate and Benzyl Acetate and for Yellow Apples, combine with Hexyl Acetate and Allyl Caproate.
Highly valued in perfume compositions as it adds a deep-fruity note along with a floral complex.

Creative ideas to explore
Creative directions, not tested formulas.Fruit with its peel
With citrus and leafy contrastsExplore a fruit sketch that includes a suggestion of peel or leaf. Compare those accents separately against the fruity reference, noticing whether they create a fresher impression or pull the idea away from the fruit you imagined.
An orchard in bloom
With rose or another familiar flowerPlace the fruity direction beside a simple floral accord. Keep a flower-only comparison and assess whether the fruit reads as a supporting accent, a juicy centre or a separate note that needs a different setting.
Fruit and cream
With vanilla and soft wood directionsSketch a more rounded fruit idea with vanilla as one variation and soft wood as another. Compare sweetness and texture before combining both, leaving room for the original fruity character to remain identifiable in the study.

Haven’t used but have the perfect formulas to add to. Smells sweet but not like a sugar sweet or a Maltol sweet.

Fructone is bright, juicy and instantly uplifting, it adds a clean apple freshness that makes accords feel crisp. Super versatile and easy to dose. It’s one of those materials you’ll reach for time and again.
