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: Explicitly identifiable contributions in the source text: more body or volume, more radiance, more warmth, rounding or softer transitions, lift or opening of the accord.

Use and dosage

Manufacturer specification for this product grade: Up to 3%. This is not an IFRA limit. Low: smooths transitions and extends the background. Medium: builds a noticeable musk body. High: can soften or linearize the accord; also check anosmia and matrix.

Up to 3%

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.

Chemical name6H-6A,9-methanobenzo[H]quinazoline, 5,7,8,9,10,10A-hexahydro-6,6,10,10-tetramethyl-

Molecular weight256.386 g/mol

Vapour pressure0.000160329 mmHg at 23 °C (0.0214 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 0.000160329 mmHg (≈ 0.0214 Pa) was reported; relative physical band class: low. This is not a prediction of evaporation time, odor strength, diffusion, or skin/blotter duration.
