Methyl dihydrojasmonate (often referred to by its trade names of hedione or kharismal) is an aroma compound with an odour similar to that of jasmine. In racemic mixtures the odor is floral and citrus, while epimerized mixtures exhibit a dense buttery-floral odor with odor recognition thresholds of 15 parts per billion.[1] It was first synthesised in 1962[2][3] and is used in fine fragrances as well as cosmetics, toiletries, shampoos, soaps, and detergents.
