Sclareolate
Premium Synthetic Ingredient for Perfumery
SCLAREOLATE® (CAS 319002-92-1) is a synthetic fragrance molecule developed by Firmenich, offering a clean, fresh floral character that bridges white florals, clary sage, and linalool-type aromatics. Structurally related to esters such as linalyl acetate, it functions as a radiant floral modifier and diffusion enhancer, with strong stability and tenacity across a wide range of fragrance formats. Ideal in lavender-citrus accords, it supports both low-dosage refinement and high-impact freshness, adaptable like linalool or dihydromyrcenol.

What is SCLAREOLATE®?
SCLAREOLATE® is a chiral synthetic ester, designed to reproduce and enhance the natural aromatic profile of clary sage, combining floral-linalool freshness with subtle white floral elegance. Its IUPAC structure places it chemically near terpenoid esters, but its olfactory behavior is softer and more persistent than traditional linalool derivatives.
Thanks to its sterically hindered structure, it shows high oxidative and thermal stability, making it especially suitable for long-lasting top-to-heart effects in both fine fragrance and functional bases.
Olfactory Profile & Perfumery Applications
👃🏼 Scent Breakdown:
Top: Clean floral-linalool, fresh sage nuance
Heart: White floral clarity, mild sweetness
Drydown: Linear, tenacious, non-fatty
⚗️ Functional Roles:
Acts as a linalool alternative with enhanced performance
Adds lift and cleanness in citrus, lavender, and fougère formats
Supports white florals (e.g. jasmine, magnolia) without overt sweetness
Compatible with musk and ozone bases for laundry-like freshness
🧪 Dosage Behavior:
Low concentrations: Refines heart/top transitions
High concentrations: Reinforces brightness and radiance
Can replace or modulate Dihydromyrcenol, Coranol, or Linalyl acetate
