Indoflor

Short profile
Indoflor has a forceful indolic-animalic character, combining civet and skatole associations with earthiness, leather and an oily olfactory texture. At trace levels, its floral and faecal aspects form a complex accent for white flowers. The supplier's laboratory description additionally identifies jasmine, orange blossom and honeyed warmth, describing a softer impression than indole without its mothball association. Strong presence in mixtures and prolonged blotter detectability are reported, but no specific opening-to-heart-to-dry-down sequence or projection test is documented.
Effect in a formula
Used as a character modifier and fixative, Indoflor supplies the animalic undertone that can make reconstructed white flowers feel more natural. It supports the lasting character of jasmine and tuberose accords, while adding earthy, civet-toned depth to musk, leather and oriental compositions.
Use and dosage
The supplier gives conflicting dosage guidance: its main recommendation is trace use, with final concentrations generally below 0.05%, whereas the laboratory section specifies 0.1–2% in finished perfume for white-floral applications. The basis of the former figure is not defined clearly enough to establish a concentrate-level range. These are formulation recommendations, not IFRA limits.
No confirmed manufacturer use level for this exact product.
Behaviour and performance
- Tenacity
- Reported blotter detectability is approximately 400 hours. The page attributes the substantivity figure to TGSC but does not specify the test dilution or environmental conditions; a separate generic label describing only medium, hours-long persistence is inconsistent with this figure.
Diffusion, tenacity and note impact are not combined into a single performance score.
Good areas of use
Dissolving and diluting
- Solvents
- The supplier reports rapid formation of clear solutions in ethanol, DPG and IPM. No quantitative solubility data or water-miscibility information is provided.
- Working dilution
- For smelling, the supplier recommends 1%, with ethanol listed as the primary dilution solvent. Its dilution table proposes a 10% working stock, while the main formulation advice instead calls for 1% or 0.1% solutions for trace additions. DPG and IPM are also listed as suitable solvents; the page does not reconcile the different stock-strength recommendations.
- Appearance
- Physical-state information is contradictory: the chemistry description identifies a crystalline material at room temperature, while the laboratory and dilution sections describe a liquid ranging from colourless to pale yellow. The page therefore does not establish an unambiguous supplied form.
