Description

Iso Muscone is a macrocyclic musk fragrance material associated with the characteristic warm and sensual odor profile of natural musk. It provides a soft, rich and subtly animalic character that can add depth and sophistication to fragrance compositions.

In modern perfumery, muscone-type materials are valued for their excellent substantivity, smoothness and skin-like character. Iso Muscone can be used to build musk accords and to give floral, woody and oriental compositions a warm and sensual foundation.

Because of its powerful character and high persistence, it is generally used at relatively low concentrations. It can also help round out sharper fragrance materials and create a more natural-feeling musk drydown.

Perfumers' Tip

Iso Muscone is best used in very small amounts to give a fragrance a warm, sensual and natural musk character. Combine it with other musks for a fuller base, or use it beneath floral materials such as jasmine and rose to add depth and a soft skin-like drydown.
