Short profile

A sweet hawthorn character sits within a balsamic profile, accompanied by vanilla, coumarinic nuances and tobacco-like spice. Its texture is rounded rather than sharp, with moderate odour strength and a predominantly heart-note role. Undiluted evaluation brings out hay, almond and anise impressions; dilution instead reveals powdery floral qualities suggestive of mimosa and heliotrope. The supplier reports lasting substantivity, but does not describe a separate opening or a timed sequence of changes through the blotter dry-down.

Effect in a formula

Acetanisole connects floral themes with gourmand sweetness, contributing a powdery character to mimosa, heliotrope and hawthorn accords. With vanillin and coumarin, it supports warm ambery compositions through a gently almond-like foundation. In tobacco accords, it emphasises the dried-leaf character's honeyed sweetness.

Use and dosage

The supplier gives 0.5–5% of the fragrance concentrate as the usual formulation range. A separate finished-fragrance range of 0.1–2% is quoted for applications including powdery florals, tonka and gourmands; this has a different concentration basis. These are formulation recommendations, not IFRA limits.

No confirmed manufacturer use level for this exact product.

Behaviour and performance

Tenacity: The page quotes 251 hours of blotter substantivity, attributing the figure to TGSC. Evaluation dilution and other test conditions are not specified. Elsewhere, its qualitative description places it in a medium-tenacity heart-note role.

Diffusion, tenacity and note impact are not combined into a single performance score.

Dissolving and diluting

Solvents: Ethanol, DPG and benzyl benzoate are listed as dilution solvents. Ethanol dissolution is assisted by a mildly warm water bath, and the supplier reports that a 10% solution remains clear. The technical data additionally report solubility in acetone, chloroform and diethyl ether.
Working dilution: Use a 10% stock in ethanol or DPG for practical dosing. The supplier also recommends 10% for olfactory evaluation, since the undiluted material gives a flatter, hay-dominated impression.
Appearance: White crystalline solid under room-temperature conditions, with melting occurring at approximately 38 °C.

Practical tip: Prepare a solution before dosing, or gently melt the material; its melting point is approximately 38 °C. For ethanol stocks, use a mildly warm water bath to help dissolve the crystals. Assess the diluted material rather than relying on a neat smelling, which can underrepresent its powdery floral character.
