Description

Karanal is a high-impact fragrance material known for its warm, dry, woody and amber-like character. It provides a powerful and long-lasting effect that can add depth, richness and sophistication to modern perfume compositions.

In perfumery, Karanal is particularly useful for building amber, woody, oriental and leathery accords. Its strong substantivity allows it to remain noticeable well into the drydown, while its dry woody character can provide structure and definition to a fragrance base.

Because of its high odor impact, Karanal is generally used at relatively low concentrations. It can be especially effective in masculine fragrances, woody ambers and modern long-lasting perfume bases.
