Material Detail

Caryophyllene Formate is an ester derivative of caryophyllene, known for its warm, woody, and slightly spicy aroma with a hint of sweetness. This compound is primarily used in fragrance formulations and flavor applications, adding depth and complexity to perfumes, cosmetics, and food products. Naturally found in essential oils such as clove, cinnamon, and black pepper, it provides a sophisticated profile that enhances both floral and spicy compositions.

Indonesia, being one of the leading producers of clove and other spice-derived essential oils, plays a significant role in the availability of Caryophyllene Formate. This makes it a valuable ingredient in regional perfumery and flavoring industries.
