Calypsone

Calypsone is a captive synthetic molecule developed by the fragrance house Symrise. It provides a warm, tropical, coconut-like note with a creamy, solar quality that evokes sun-drenched beaches and exotic islands.

Calypsone was designed to capture the essence of tropical warmth in a single ingredient, combining elements of coconut, sunscreen, and warm skin into a distinctive olfactory experience. In perfumery, Calypsone brings an instant vacation feeling to any composition.

It has a luminous, radiant quality that suggests sunshine and warm sand. The molecule is used in summer fragrances, tropical compositions, and beachy scents where its sunny character creates an immediate sense of relaxation and escape.

Calypsone pairs beautifully with tiare flower, vanilla, coconut, citrus, and marine notes. It is particularly effective in creating that specific suntan lotion, golden skin impression that many summer fragrances aim for.

Calypsone has become an important tool for perfumers creating warm-weather fragrances.
