Theaspirane is a radiant blackcurrant, rose and tea-like note with a camphoraceous opening. It blends incredibly well with Velberry™ and Givescone™ and the rose ketones which it happily boosts. This really is an indispensable chemical for the modern perfumer and certainly one we would never be without in the Fraterworks labs. Perfumery: Techniques in Evolution (a series of articles published in Perfumer and Flavorist magazine) has this to say about it: “Theaspirane is one of those singular chemicals that seldom emerge from research. It might even be considered one of the 10 best chemicals on the market. It is present in natural tea, and its fragrance is extraordinarily complex: herbal, greeen tea, moist and recently cut tobacco leaves, with metalic, woody, floral and spicy backnotes. Its blends with vanilla notes, [tabanon], formyl tricide decane, the macrocyclic musks, Oxo-Edulane, 4-oxo ionyl acetate, Oxo-Damascone or beta-Damascone are unique. Its radiant and unequalled beauty places this chemical among the exalted ranks of products such as the Damascones and Damascenone, Hedione and Exaltolide, without implying of course, that all these aromatic chemicals can be grouped in the same family. Theaspirane is a jewel that will be used more and more in the future.”
