Perfumers' Tip

Alpha Cedrene Epoxide works well for building a dry, warm and sophisticated woody base. Combine it with cedarwood and Iso E Super for a modern cedar accord, or use it with patchouli, vetiver and labdanum for a darker resinous composition. A small amount of Ambroxan can further increase the warmth and persistence of the drydown.
