Short profile
A pronounced Damask rose character combines freshness with substantial floral depth and sweetness. Honeyed body gives the odour fullness, while spicy accents and a faint waxy texture add contrast. The supplier also identifies a green nuance and places particular emphasis on the rose heart. Odour strength is rated 5/10 and presence within a blend 6/10; a stage-by-stage account of opening, dry-down and blotter evolution is not supplied.
Effect in a formula
Provides a substantial rose centre in the heart of a composition, bringing natural floral character to constructed rose bases. Its principal applications are rose-led florals, chypres and oriental compositions, where it supplies depth and fullness rather than merely a rose accent.
Use and dosage
The supplier gives 0.5–5% of the fragrance concentrate as a customary range for building a rose centre in floral, chypre and oriental compositions. A separate recommendation of 0.1–2% refers to the finished fragrance, not the concentrate. These are formulation recommendations, not IFRA limits; no distinct trace-use or overdose range is specified.
No confirmed manufacturer use level for this exact product.
Behaviour and performance
- Tenacity
- The page reports 168 hours of blotter substantivity, citing TGSC as its data source. Test dilution and other evaluation conditions are not stated. Elsewhere, the supplier describes persistence more generally as moderate, lasting hours.
Diffusion, tenacity and note impact are not combined into a single performance score.
Dissolving and diluting
- Solvents
- After gentle warming to liquefy the oil, clear solutions are reported in ethanol, DPG and IPM. Alcohol containing water can produce haze, so clarity in hydroalcoholic systems should not be assumed.
- Working dilution
- Use a 10% stock for formulation work and a 1% dilution for olfactory evaluation, following the supplier's guidance. Ethanol, gently warmed to hand temperature, is the indicated preparation solvent; DPG and IPM are also listed as suitable solvents.
- Appearance
- A light-yellow oil when liquid, becoming solid below approximately 20 °C. In cool conditions its stearoptene fraction forms a soft, crystalline mass; gentle warming restores the liquid state.
