Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A bicyclic oxime fragrance material — low-use specialty note, with standard IFRA controls and limited independent data.
Dimethylbicyclo-8-octanone oxime is a specialty synthetic fragrance material containing an oxime functional group on a bicyclic ketone scaffold. Oxime-based fragrance materials occupy a niche in perfumery with fresh/green/citrus notes. Public independent toxicology data for this specific INCI are scarce; the oxime functional group has known metabolism/stability considerations in related compounds. Use should conform to IFRA/RIFM maximum concentration guidance and overall fragrance quantity limits.
