Koavone® presents a woody–floral profile with soft pine and balsamic facets, rounded by gentle violet and ionone-like tones. The aroma is dry and elegant rather than dense, with a lightly powdery floral edge that keeps the woodiness smooth and balanced. It feels composed and understated, supporting other notes without overpowering them.

Koavone® functions primarily as a heart-to-base modifier, contributing clarity, structure, and diffusion.

Recommended concentration: 0.3-30%

Particularly effective in:
Woody florals, aromatic woods, modern fougères, violet-leaning compositions

Blends well with:
Violet, iris, and ionone materials
Cedarwood, sandalwood, and balsamic woods
Green and aromatic notes for freshness
Musks and amber materials to extend the drydown

Suitable for non-perfumery applications such as candles and home fragrance where a smooth woody-floral tone is desired (within IFRA limits)

Used carefully, it adds polish and cohesion rather than acting as a feature note.
