Description
Methyldihydrojasmonate is an ingredient that occurs naturally in tea and is widely used in the fragrance industry. It gives scented products a soft and delicate white floral scent reminiscent of jasmine. Found in many perfumes, colognes, and consumer products, it also serves as a key building block for creating many other floral aromas.
Perfumers often formulate a nature-identical version of the ingredient in a laboratory, ensuring consistent quality while helping preserve the earth's natural resources. The lab-created version can come from various sources, including renewable materials, making it a more sustainable choice for the fragrance industry.

Tea
Additional information
Producing 1 kilogram of natural jasmine oil requires approximately 8 million jasmine flowers. Using methyldihydrojasmonate offers a sustainable alternative that delivers a similar aroma without intensive flower harvesting.
There is a chemical affinity between the aromatic compounds of tea and jasmine, which explains why many tea varieties have natural notes resembling jasmine. This relationship provided the basis for discovering methyldihydrojasmonate.
The scent of jasmine has been used in perfumery for more than 5,000 years, with early records originating from ancient Persia, Egypt, and China. Methyldihydrojasmonate represents the modern evolution of this long-standing tradition.
