Drydown modifier

Can define the woody axis, structure the drydown and connect floral or amber parts; the specific dominance is dosage-dependent. Statement refers to the specific commercial product grade; behavior of the undiluted individual molecule is not derived from this.

From the source: Explicitly identifiable contributions in the source text: more body or volume, more warmth, rounding or softer transitions.

Use and dosage

Manufacturer's specification for this product grade: Up to 10%. This is not an IFRA limit. Low: contours the drydown. Medium: builds a recognizable woody axis. High: can mask floral or fresh parts and make the accord drier or more massive.

Up to 10%

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.
