Dihydroeugenol is the hydrogenated derivative of eugenol (also known as 4-propylguaiacol), carrying a warm, sweet-spicy clove character that is smoother and creamier with less phenolic bite. The first impression is a gentle clove nuance fused with vanillic sweetness, clean dry woods, and a hint of vintage carnation, leaving a long-lasting, cozy trail.
In fine fragrance, dihydroeugenol builds a soft body and depth for floral-spicy, oriental, woody, fougère, and gourmand structures. Even at low dosages it “rounds off” harsh edges from eugenol-rich materials, improves diffusion, and extends the drydown. It pairs beautifully with ylang-ylang, rose, carnation, patchouli, vetiver, vanillin/ethyl vanillin, cinnamic materials, nutmeg, and balsamic resins.
For home fragrance, this material delivers a warm, comfortable “cozy” feel in candles, wax melts, and reed diffusers while keeping the profile clean-especially effective in Chai Latte, Gingerbread, Holiday Spice, Woody Amber, and Tea accords. Its better oxidative stability versus eugenol helps minimize darkening and preserves the scent profile longer in wax- or solvent-based applications.
Suggested use levels: 0.05–0.30% in candles/wax; 0.1–1.5% in fine fragrance depending on role (accent or body). Start low to avoid overshadowing delicate florals. It is compatible with ethanol, DPG, IPM, and most common perfumery solvents; insoluble in water. For leave-on products, always confirm limits under the latest IFRA Standards and review any related fragrance allergen considerations.
SCENT supplies perfumery-grade Dihydroeugenol as a clear to pale yellow liquid with a clean, easy-to-blend odor profile. Packaged in sealed aluminum/HDPE, store in a cool, dry place away from light and heat. As a “shock absorber” for warm spicy facets, Dihydroeugenol is a key tool for adding smoothness, depth, and a refined classic touch to both perfumes and home scents.
