Apo Patchone Coeur (IFF®)
No stock or price required. Add a batch later only if you want inventory tracking.
Short profile
Leathery, floral, suede-like, rose, lilac, geranium and dry odor profile.
Effect in a formula
Provides a link between floral and leather components, introducing a dry suede dimension into rose and geranium structures. In leather accords, it contributes floral character rather than emphasizing animalic roughness. The supplier's main formulation guidance therefore places it particularly in floral-leather, rose and geranium compositions.
Use and dosage
The main recommendation is 0.5–5% of the fragrance concentrate, in the context of leather, rose and geranium accords or floral-leather combinations. This is formulation guidance, not an IFRA limit. A separate laboratory section gives 1–10% in the finished fragrance; that figure uses a different basis and should not be substituted for the concentrate range.
No confirmed manufacturer use level for this exact product.
Behaviour and performance
- Tenacity
- The supplier reports 12 hours of substantivity on a blotter, citing TGSC as its data source. Test dilution and environmental conditions are not specified. Elsewhere, persistence is described qualitatively as both moderate and long-lasting, without additional measured durations.
Diffusion, tenacity and note impact are not combined into a single performance score.
Dissolving and diluting
- Solvents
- Reported to form clear solutions in ethanol, dipropylene glycol (DPG) and isopropyl myristate (IPM). The page does not provide quantitative solubility limits or water-miscibility information.
- Working dilution
- For smelling evaluation, the page recommends a 10% solution; ethanol is the selected solvent in its linked dilution calculator. Compounding options are listed as neat material or a 10% dilution. DPG and IPM are also listed as suitable solvents, although no separate evaluation protocol is provided for them.
- Appearance
- A viscous liquid ranging from colourless to pale yellow.
