Jasmolactone (CAS registry number 32764-98-0), also known as tetrahydro-6-(3-pentenyl)-2H-pyran-2-one or 8-decen-5-olide, is a premium synthetic delta-lactone designed to recreate the soft, warm, petal-like qualities of natural jasmine (Jasminum grandiflorum and Jasminum sambac). With a chemical formula of C10H16O2 and a molecular weight of 168.23 g/mol, this compound exists as a clear, mobile, colorless to pale yellow liquid. Jasmolactone is highly favored by formulators for its ability to deliver a remarkably authentic jasmine character.
Regarding its organoleptic profile, the product possesses a rich floral-lactonic jasmine aroma, harmoniously blending realistic jasmine petal notes with subtle, juicy fruit facets of peach, apricot, and creamy coconut. At high dilutions, it can also develop light nuances. Jasmolactone acts as a highly tenacious middle to base note, providing stable diffusion and adding a smooth, velvety "body" that elevates white floral accords, ambery notes, and modern musks. It achieves optimal performance even at very low concentrations, typically ranging from 0.1% to 1% in the fragrance concentrate.
Jasmolactone boasts exceptional substantive longevity, lasting up to two weeks on a smelling strip. Thanks to its excellent chemical stability across a wide pH range and in surfactant bases, it is perfectly suited for use in personal care applications such as shampoos, shower gels, and bar soaps without the risk of discoloration or olfactory degradation over time. When blended with transparent diffusers, Jasmolactone provides the necessary rich, creamy density to bring the scent of fresh jasmine to life. Furthermore, it is widely utilized in detergents, fabric softeners, candles, and multi-purpose cleaners, where it effectively masks harsh, acidic base odors.
Beyond the fine fragrance and cosmetic industries, Jasmolactone serves as a vital ingredient in food flavoring technology, supported by Kosher and Halal specifications. At low dosages, it imparts realistic dairy-like creaminess and tropical fruit notes to baked goods, beverages, soft candies, and milk products. Most notably, scientific evaluations have highlighted Jasmolactone as a highly effective, skin-friendly arthropod repellent. At concentrations from 0.1% to 5%, it exhibits repellent efficacy against mosquitoes (particularly vectors like Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus), ticks, and bed bugs that is comparable or superior to traditional DEET, while demonstrating significantly longer-lasting protection and outdoor durability at lower concentrations.
