Isomuscone or Cyclohexadecanone (Supplier termed) is a synthetic methyl ionone isomer that delivers a soft, powdery, floral-woody scent preferred for fragrance composition. Commonly used as a cost-effective and stable substitute for α- and β-ionones, Isomuscone contributes long-lasting violet, orris, and cedarwood notes. Isomuscone also known as Homoexaltone performs as a heart-to-base note component in perfumes, cosmetics, functional fragrance systems. It has end uses as Synthetic ionone isomer build violet, powdery, and woody notes in both prestige and mass-market fragrance products. Manufacturing Plant is ISO certified, and it offers stability, affordability, and long-lasting character across multiple product formats.
