Muscenone

Muscenone (CAS 63314-79-4) is a macrocyclic musk ketone used as a fragrance ingredient in fine perfumery and functional applications. FEMA status covers its use in approved flavor compositions.

Where is Muscenone used?

• Fine fragrance: anchors base notes and extends longevity of musk accords
• Premium formulations: replaces or complements nitro and polycyclic musks
• Personal care: skin creams, body lotions, hair care products
• Home care: fabric softeners, laundry detergents, household cleaners
• In surfactant-rich systems it supports consistent scent delivery through the wash cycle and onto dried fabrics.

Good to know: Buyers should confirm isomeric composition and purity certificates when sourcing; the ratio of geometric isomers affects the olfactory profile and final performance of the aromatic blend.

Commercial specifications

• Liquid, typically at high purity grades suited to fragrance and flavor end uses
• Fragrance-grade material is the standard commercial form, with specifications aligned to IFRA compliance requirements
