Damascenones are a series of closely related chemical compounds that are components of a variety of essential oils. The damascenones belong to a family of chemicals known as rose ketones, which also includes damascones and ionones. beta-Damascenone is a major contributor to the aroma of roses, despite its very low concentration, and is an important fragrance chemical used in perfumery.[1]

The damascenones are derived from the degradation of carotenoids. [2]

In 2008, (E)-β-damascenone was identified as a primary odorant in Kentucky Bourbon.[3]
