Description

Orcinyl 3 is a distinctive woody and amber fragrance material with dry, earthy and mossy nuances. Its character can add depth and a slightly natural, forest-like quality to fragrance compositions, making it particularly useful for creating darker and more sophisticated woody structures. The material has a strong personality and can contribute a dry, textured quality rather than a soft or creamy woodiness.

In perfumery, Orcinyl 3 is useful as a woody modifier and base-note character material. It can support chypre, woody, mossy, amber and earthy accords, while also providing contrast to fresh citrus and floral materials. Its dry character can help give a fragrance greater structure and complexity, particularly when used alongside other long-lasting woody materials.

Because of its distinctive odor profile, Orcinyl 3 is generally best evaluated in a complete accord rather than alone. Small adjustments can significantly change the character of a woody or mossy composition.

Perfumers' Tip

Use Orcinyl 3 when a composition needs dry woody depth with a mossy, earthy edge. Combine it with oakmoss, patchouli and bergamot for a modern chypre direction, or blend it with cedarwood and amber materials to create a darker woody base. Start at a low level and increase gradually to avoid overpowering delicate floral notes.
