Olfactory Profile:
Clean, sweet, powdery, floral musk with subtle woody undertones. Base Note.
Technical Specifications:
• Appearance: Viscous liquid (typically supplied at 50% in DPG or DEP for pourability)
• Solubility: Soluble in alcohol and oils
Applications & Usage Guidelines:
Extensively used in fine fragrance, functional perfumery (soaps, lotions, shampoos), and laundry care due to its stability and high performance across mediums.
IFRA & Usage Rate:
• Recommended Usage: 1% to 20%
• IFRA: Generally safe at high levels, but always verify with the current IFRA category limits for your specific end-product.
Blending Guide:
The ultimate team player. Blends beautifully with floral bouquets (rose, jasmine), fruity accords, and other musks (like Ethylene Brassylate) to create complex, full-bodied musk accords.
