Effect in a formula

Woody building block
Structure provider
Drydown modifier

Can define the woody axis, structure the drydown and connect floral or amber parts; the specific dominance is dosage-dependent.

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

Use and dosage

No reliable numerical use range documented for this product grade. Low: contours the drydown. Medium: builds a recognizable woody axis. High: can overshadow floral or fresh parts and make the accord drier or more massive.

No confirmed manufacturer use level for this exact product.

Behaviour and performance

Function classKetone
Vapour pressure0.002926 mmHg at 23 °C (0.3901 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 0.002926 mmHg (≈ 0.3901 Pa) was reported; relative physical band class: medium. This is not a prediction of evaporation time, odor strength, diffusion or skin/blotter duration.
