It is extremely versatile in character, and effects ranging from sweet floral to tobacco-like or woody are obtainable with various grades of subject material. the most refined grades, which are quite expensive, often show a very attractive creamy’ top-note and a most uniform, powdery-sweet dryout performance. this type of methylionone can support floral notes in ylang-ylang as well as woody notes in vetiver, or leathery notes in salicylates, etc. certain types of perfume contain up to 25% or more of this material. many soap perfumes are based upon a large volume of common-grade methylonone with the subject isomer as pre-dominant component.” calkin & jellinek talk about methyl ionone: “methyl ionone is one of the most versatile materials used in perfumery. although it occurs in a number of different isomeric forms … the qualities most widely used today are either the gamma (ISO-alpha) form or a mixture of isomers in which this predominates. in odor it lies somewhere between floral, woody, and iris, working in a perfume as a bridge between the middle and base notes. it blends with almost every type of material, taking its place as a structural component in many of the great perfume families.”

This product has a premium odour despite its surprisingly low price. if you can't afford the supreme iralia or isoraldeine cetone alpha, this is the product you need.
