Description

Methyl Iso Eugenol is a warm, spicy-floral aroma chemical with characteristic clove, carnation and woody facets. Compared with Methyl Eugenol, it generally presents a more floral and rounded character with less pronounced phenolic sharpness. Its profile can also show resinous, slightly powdery and earthy nuances.

In perfumery, Methyl Iso Eugenol is particularly useful for constructing carnation and spicy-floral accords. It can add warmth, floral depth and sophistication to rose, ylang-ylang and other floral compositions, while also supporting woody and oriental structures. It is valued as a character material and as a modifier that helps connect spicy, floral and woody facets within a formula.

Perfumers' Tip

Methyl Iso Eugenol is especially useful for giving a floral formula a warm, spicy carnation character with greater floral roundness. Pair it with Eugenol or Isoeugenol for a richer spicy effect, or combine it with rose and ylang-ylang materials to create a sophisticated spicy-floral heart. Because it is a strong character material, evaluate it at low levels before increasing the dosage.
