"used widely in perfume compositions of almost all types. It is many decades since the single floral Violet note was appreciated as a fragrance for cosmetic purposes, but lonone has found numerous other applications. The use of lonone in Rose bases is very common and generally well liked, and smaller amounts of lonone are used in woody, herbaceous, floral, balsamic, piney or Citrus-like fragrances. It is almost not possibe to name a fragrance in which Ionone has not been tried for modifications, blending, floralizing mellowing etc. It is often part of the highly desirable complex that displays powdery undertones in a fragrance"
