Description

Isophytol is a long-chain terpene alcohol used as a fragrance ingredient and functional perfumery material. It has a relatively mild odor profile with soft, fresh, green and slightly floral nuances, making it useful as a supporting component rather than a dominant odorant.

In perfumery, Isophytol can contribute smoothness, body and persistence to fragrance compositions. Its substantive character makes it useful in floral, green, woody and fresh accords, where it can help provide a soft background and improve the overall balance of a fragrance.

It can also be used as a building block or intermediate in the manufacture of other fragrance and specialty chemicals.

Perfumers' Tip

Isophytol is best used as a soft supporting material when a composition needs additional body and smoothness without introducing a strong dominant odor. Combine it with floral materials for a rounded heart or with woody materials to create a smooth, persistent base.
