Short profile

Honeyed sweetness and dry hay form the core of this oil's odour, contrasted by a pronounced curry-like, fenugreek spice character. Dried-fruit and tobacco nuances broaden the profile, while a mildly bitter medicinal edge prevents it from reading as purely sweet. Herbal and fruity accents add complexity to this forceful, readily dominant natural material. The supplier describes lasting presence but provides no staged blotter observations or specific projection data, so an opening-to-dry-down progression cannot be established.

Use and dosage

The supplier's concentrate guidance is 0.1–1%, generally sufficient for this powerful material. Start at the lower end and assess within the complete accord, since increasing the dose can shift the balance towards curry spice. A separate range of 0.1–2% is given for finished fragrance, not concentrate. These are formulation recommendations, not IFRA limits.

No confirmed manufacturer use level for this exact product.

Behaviour and performance

Tenacity
Described as persistent over many hours and potentially days. No measured blotter duration, evaluation dilution or test conditions are supplied.

Diffusion, tenacity and note impact are not combined into a single performance score.

Dissolving and diluting

Solvents
Clear solutions are reported in ethanol, DPG and IPM. Alcohol containing water can produce cloudiness; the supplier does not specify the water content at which this occurs.
Working dilution
Use a 10% stock for formulation work and a 1% dilution for smelling. Ethanol is the supplier's primary listed solvent; DPG and IPM are also listed as suitable solvents.
Appearance
Liquid with a pale-yellow to yellow colour.
Practical tip: Evaluate at 1% before adjusting the dose in a blend, and increase additions gradually while checking the overall balance. Excess can turn a honeyed herbal accent into an overt curry effect. Keep the oil cool and protected from light.
