Methyl Dihydrojasmonate
What is Methyl Dihydrojasmonate?
Methyl Dihydrojasmonate is a synthetic fragrance compound chemically derived from jasmonic acid, widely used in perfumery and skincare products for its floral, jasmine-like scent with subtle green and citrus undertones. It functions primarily as a fixative to prolong the longevity of other fragrance notes and as a mild diffuser that enhances the overall olfactory profile without overpowering. In skincare, it appears in scented formulations such as lotions, creams, and body mists, contributing to sensory appeal rather than direct skin benefits.
