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 identifiable in the source text: more radiance, a more natural appearance, rounding or softer transitions, enhancement of olfactory presence, an effect explicitly described as long-lasting.

Use and dosage

Manufacturer's recommended use for this product grade: Traces to 0.5%. This is not an IFRA limit. Low: supports warmth and depth. Medium: outlines a clear amber body. High: can significantly increase dryness, density, or dominance; test in the target accord.

Traces to 0.5%

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.

Function classKetone

Vapour pressure0.000487 mmHg at 23 °C (0.0649 Pa)

Relative VP bandlow

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 0.000487 mmHg (≈ 0.0649 Pa) was reported; relative physical band class: low. This is not a prediction of evaporation time, odor strength, diffusion, or skin/blotter duration.
