OXYDE ROSE 90.10 – floral, fresh and metallic note with dewy rose nuances

Floral-pink, green-geranial, bright-pure, metallic, moist. Diffused and powerful.
An unusual and potent component of rose oil, first discovered in 1959, also found in geranium, lychee, and Gewürztraminer wine. It is often used to impart a green or metallic note and to enhance diffusion. It has a particular affinity with -carvone, especially in floral arrangements.
Pungent and widespread, a greenish-gaseous or "hard" green, floral odor with a short persistence. The similarity to geranium is only apparent when diluted with rose oxide and is best appreciated in the composition. The diluted material also has a rose-like character.
Used in the restoration of roses to impart a note of green rose stem. It is used in geranium notes to add a fruity nuance. It contributes a raw vegetal nuance, enhancing the fruity notes of lychee, exotic fruits, and red berries.
Compared to other green and pink notes, it does not possess those metallic notes such as diphenyl oxide and benzophenone.
Stable in perfumery and in various functional bases.
There are two enantiomers, and their properties can vary depending on the synthesis parameters. The dextrorotatory rose oxide is more spicy, while the levorotatory one is more metallic. Both are used in perfumery.
Very slightly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
