Description

Okoumal Giv is a modern woody-amber aroma chemical with a distinctive dry, elegant and slightly mineral character. Its odor profile combines cedarwood, sandalwood and dry amber facets, creating a smooth but powerful woody impression. It can provide structure and depth without introducing excessive sweetness, making it useful in contemporary woody compositions.

In perfumery, Okoumal Giv is valued for its ability to build dry woody volume, warmth and persistence. It works particularly well in cedarwood, sandalwood, amber and oriental structures and can also provide contrast in floral or fresh compositions. Its character helps create a sophisticated woody backbone and can give fragrances a modern, polished quality.

The material is especially useful when a composition needs a dry, elegant woody foundation with good presence in the drydown. It can be combined with both natural woods and other synthetic woody materials to create layered and dimensional bases.

Perfumers' Tip
