Effect in a formula

Amber building block

Basic structure

Drydown modifier

Can give amber and woody accords warmth, depth and a clearer drydown; strength and progression must be checked in the target accord.

From the source: Contributions explicitly recognizable in the source text: more warmth, an effect explicitly described as long-lasting.

Use and dosage

Manufacturer specification for this product grade: Up to 20%. This is not an IFRA limit. Low: supports warmth and depth. Medium: delineates a clear amber body. High: can significantly increase dryness, density or dominance; check in the target accord.

Up to 20%

Manufacturer use guidance for this exact product — not an IFRA limit. IFRA standards must be verified separately for the specific substance scope and product grade.

Molecular weight226.4 g/mol

Vapour pressure0.000817 mmHg at 23 °C (0.1089 Pa)

Relative VP bandmedium

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

At 23 °C a vapor pressure of 0.000817 mmHg (≈ 0.1089 Pa) was reported; relative physical band class: medium. This is not a prediction of evaporation time, odor strength, diffusion, or skin/blotter duration.
