Short profile

A gentle woody-floral material with a fresh, clean character, fruity shading and a restrained camphor nuance. Cedar and muguet associations give its soft profile both woody definition and floral lightness, with a noticeable laundry-clean association. The supplier positions it in the heart and base, describing moderate odour strength and a relatively discreet presence within a blend. No timed opening-to-dry-down description is supplied, so a specific sequence of changes on blotter cannot be established.

Effect in a formula

Adds body beneath floral and woody themes while connecting these two parts of a composition without becoming an obvious focal note. In fresh fragrances, it supplies a clean woody underpinning rather than a weighty wood effect. Its reported applications include muguet and fougère structures, alongside laundry, soap and personal-care fragrances.

Use and dosage

The supplier gives 2–15% of the fragrance concentrate as a customary range, with substantially higher proportions used in functional fragrance work. A separate laboratory note lists 1–15% in the finished fragrance; this has a different stated basis and should not be confused with concentrate dosing. These figures describe formulation practice, not IFRA limits.

No confirmed manufacturer use level for this exact product.

Behaviour and performance

Tenacity
The page reports 8 hours of substantivity on blotting paper, attributed to TGSC. Neither evaluation dilution nor other test conditions are provided.

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

Dissolving and diluting

Solvents
Reported to form clear solutions promptly in each of the listed solvents: ethanol, DPG and IPM.
Working dilution
For odour evaluation, use a 10% dilution; ethanol, DPG and IPM are the listed solvent options. The supplier also permits working with the undiluted material.
Appearance
Liquid with no visible colour.
Practical tip: Keep the material in cool storage. For strongly alkaline detergent bases, check stability in the intended formulation: the page warns of acetate hydrolysis under these conditions, despite describing the material elsewhere as alkali-stable.
