Calone is a synthetic aroma material associated with watery, marine and slightly floral effects. It can suggest the freshness of sea air or the watery flesh of melon, rather than the full smell of an actual shoreline.
dsm-firmenich’s Calone reference identifies CAS 28940-11-6 and describes marine, floral and ozone facets. Chemically, the material is a benzodioxepinone. Its sea-like smell is an association created by an odorant; it is not extracted seawater or salt.
Calone is one way to build an aquatic fragrance, not a requirement for the style. An aquatic accord may instead emphasize cucumber-like freshness, rain, mineral dryness or other watery effects. Likewise, a melon note does not disclose a dose of Calone.
