Short profile

This material presents a muted, gentle olfactory profile that acts predominantly as a base element. It opens with subtle dry woody facets and a mild, peppery caryophyllene character, lacking intense top notes. Throughout its long-lasting performance on the smelling strip, it retains a soft, warm balsamic nuance alongside faint sawdust and resinous sweetness without aggressive projection.

Effect in a formula

Acting as a remarkably neutral natural fixative, this oil anchors volatile elements and provides substantive volume without skewing the character of the fragrance. It acts as an effective bridge connecting heavier resins with woods, lending an understated foundation to oriental, woody, and masculine compositions.

Use and dosage

Typically dosed between 1% and 10% within the finished fragrance concentrate, though higher amounts can be employed when using the material as an aromatic base or functional extender.

Behaviour and performance

Tenacity
Lasts around 100 hours on a smelling strip.

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

Dissolving and diluting

Solvents
Dissolves clearly in ethanol, dipropylene glycol (DPG), and isopropyl myristate (IPM). Dilution in hydrous or watery alcohol solutions will cause haziness or turbidity.
Appearance
Colorless to pale yellow liquid.
Practical tip: Due to high concentrations of sesquiterpenes like caryophyllene, containers should be stored sealed airtight, kept completely filled to eliminate headspace, and stored away from heat and light to prevent oxidation.
