Effect in a formula

Musk base

texturizer

rounding

Can smooth transitions, provide body and skin proximity, and hold the base together; check for musk anosmia and matrix effects.

From the source: Contributions explicitly recognizable in the source text: more warmth, enhancement of olfactory presence, an explicitly mentioned fixative or base support function, an effect explicitly described as long-lasting.

Vapour pressure0.00018 Pa at 20 °C (1.80e-4 Pa)

Relative VP bandvery_low

The Pa value is a unit conversion only, not a temperature normalisation. VP band and molecular weight are not translated into evaporation hours.

A vapor pressure of 0.00018 Pa (≈ 1.800e-4 Pa) has been reported at 20 °C; relative physical band class: very_low. This is not a prediction of evaporation time, odor strength, diffusion, or skin/blotter duration.
