Molecules at Givaudan

The creation of a new fragrance can be influenced by the new molecules on the market. Some of them are captives and are used only by the company who created them. For Firmenich the proportion of those special ingredients is around 20%. Here you have some of the new molecules from Givaudan (new for me, because the patents are not very "fresh"). Pomarose is inside of a great commercial succes (and nice perfume).
Calypsone - watery, ozonic, melon, lily of the valley
Cosmone - musk, powdery (nitromusk like)
Florymoss - floral, mossy green
Opalal - woody, fruity, minth
Paradisamide - tropical fruit, grapefruit, currant, rhubarbe
Pepperwood - floral, peppery, spicy
Pomarose - baked apple, rose
Serenolide - musk and cotton
Tanaisone - herbal, fruity, artemisia
Zinarine - very green tomato leaf, petitgrain

Other musks with curious names are Applelide and Nebulone from IFF.
