Description

Exaltolide Total SK is a macrocyclic musk material valued for its soft, clean and elegant musk character. It provides a smooth, warm and slightly powdery impression with a subtle skin-like quality. Its restrained odor profile allows it to blend naturally into a fragrance without overwhelming other ingredients, while its substantivity makes it useful for creating a persistent and polished drydown.

In perfumery, Exaltolide is particularly useful for musk accords, soft floral compositions, skin scents and elegant woody fragrances. It can add roundness and softness to a formula while improving the overall smoothness of the base. It also works effectively as a bridge between floral heart materials and woody, amber or musk base notes. Its refined character makes it suitable for both classic and contemporary fragrance styles.
