​ODOWELL Recommends Gardenia Acetal for Fresh Citrus-Gardenia Fragrance Applications




Gardenia Acetal, CAS No. 5182-36-5, chemically known as 2,4,6-trimethyl-4-phenyl-1,3-dioxane and commercially recognized as Floropal or Vertacetal Coeur, is a synthetic floral fragrance ingredient characterized by a fresh, citrusy, and natural gardenia odor profile with distinct green and grapefruit nuances. This multi-dimensional profile makes it a valuable building block for contemporary citrus-floral and white floral fragrance development.

From an olfactory perspective, Gardenia Acetal offers a bright, natural citrus-gardenia character enriched by green rhubarb freshness and subtle grapefruit facets. The resulting "citrus + gardenia + green" structure provides both lasting depth and a luminous, transparent quality, ideal for modern, radiant fragrance structures and a key ingredient for building contemporary white floral compositions.


In fine fragrance, Gardenia Acetal is commonly used in citrus-floral, white floral, green floral, and woody-floral accords. It enhances diffusion, longevity, and overall transparency while blending well with muguet, rose, jasmine, and other floral materials to create more three-dimensional and sophisticated floral fragrance structures.


Beyond perfumery, Gardenia Acetal is suitable for functional fragrance applications, including personal care, hair care, soaps, detergents, fabric softeners, air fresheners, scented candles, and home fragrance products. Its fresh citrus-gardenia character combined with green and natural nuances contributes to a clean, comfortable, and long-lasting sensory impression in everyday consumer products.


ODOWELL continues to focus on aroma ingredients with clear olfactory identity and practical formulation value. With its fresh citrus, gardenia, green, and natural profile, excellent stability in alkaline media, and strong substantivity, Gardenia Acetal is a useful ingredient for modern fine fragrance, personal care, and home care fragrance development.
