Short profile

The opening is assertively dry and cedar-like, with a pencil-shaving aspect that feels less rugged than natural cedarwood. An airy amber character accompanies this woodiness, with marine and ambergris nuances providing depth and a faint orris-root accent adding refinement. Its projection is pronounced, and the supplier classifies it as a base-note material with exceptionally prolonged strip persistence. Separate heart and dry-down changes are not described, so the reported longevity should not be read as a documented sequence of olfactory development.

Effect in a formula

It gives compositions a projecting woody-amber axis and pronounced lift. In citrus structures, it contributes depth while preserving the impression of brightness. The supplier highlights its usefulness in masculine woody fragrances, forceful amber bases and laundry perfumery, with strong persistence on fabric.

Use and dosage

The supplier advises restrained dosing because of the material's potency; excessive additions can make the woody effect sharply intrusive. No numerical use range in fragrance concentrate is provided. This is qualitative formulation advice, not an IFRA limit.

No confirmed manufacturer use level for this exact product.

Practical tip: Allow pauses between smelling trials, as olfactory fatigue can develop quickly. For a less sharp woody-amber impression, the supplier suggests pairing it with Ambrox to introduce a creamier counterweight.
