Cedrol Crystals Natural

The initial impression is exceptionally faint, with a dry cedar character becoming clearer over several hours. Its woody body combines pencil-like nuances with sweetness, a soft texture and understated balsamic creaminess. Odour intensity remains low; this is a persistent background material rather than an assertive olfactory accent. The woody character lasts for days, and reassessment on a blotter after 24 hours reveals more of its warmth.

The supplier gives a general formulation range of 1–10%, with higher amounts possible in wood-focused compositions. However, other sections describe the same range as a finished-fragrance dosage, so the page does not establish an unambiguous concentrate-specific recommendation. These figures are formulation guidance, not an IFRA limit.

No confirmed manufacturer use level for this exact product.

Tenacity

Reported blotter substantivity is 400 hours, presented by the supplier as TGSC-derived data. The page does not specify the test dilution or other measurement conditions.

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

Solvents

The supplier lists ethanol, DPG and IPM as suitable solvents and advises dissolving the crystals before incorporation. Dissolution in cold ethanol is slow, while gentle water-bath warming accelerates preparation. A customer review on the page reports recrystallisation of a 10% ethanol solution at room temperature; this is a user observation rather than a supplier stability specification.

Working dilution

A 10% working solution is recommended, with ethanol explicitly used in the supplier's preparation example. A lukewarm water bath helps the solution become clear.

Appearance

At room temperature, the material is a white crystalline solid with a wax-like character. Its reported melting point is approximately 86 °C.
