Dimethyl Octenone (DMO) is a vibrant fruity material with a clear tropical profile, strongly reminiscent of freshly cut pineapple, touched with ripe citrus facets and a cool, slightly “metallic-green” edge. It delivers a sparkling, juicy lift in the top notes and leaves a clean, airy fruity trail as it dries down.
In blends, DMO works as a booster for citrus–tropical accords: it brightens orange, lemon, and grapefruit; enriches the depth of pineapple, mango, and passion fruit; and ties crisp apple–pear nuances together with a refreshing crunch. In florals, it opens white flowers such as jasmine and orange blossom with a modern, fruity sheen, reducing waxy or powdery aspects while increasing diffusion. With green notes, it sharpens the “crisp green” character alongside cis-3-hexenyl acetate, galbanum, or violet leaf.
Typical applications include contemporary fine fragrance, body mists, fruity–citrus room sprays, tropical-style candles and wax products, and fresh-smelling cleaners. DMO evaporates quickly in the top, making it ideal for “spark-starting” a formula and pulling the wearer into a fruit-forward theme from the first seconds.
Suggested use levels are trace to 0.05–0.3% of the concentrate in fine fragrance, potentially higher in non-skin products such as air care or cleaning formulas depending on target effect and applicable regulations. It dissolves readily in ethanol and is broadly compatible with common solvents and fragrance bases. Pilot evaluations across multiple bases are recommended to balance freshness against its characteristic green–metallic edge.
For pineapple or “sparkling citrus” themes, DMO pairs effectively with allyl caproate, ethyl butyrate, dimethyl benzyl carbinyl butyrate, fruity lactones, and a touch of soft sulfur nuances to enhance ripe-fruit realism. For clean fruity florals, combine with hedione, jasmonates, and muguet-type materials to achieve a light, airy, modern profile suited to broad consumer preferences.
