   Very Interesting High Impact material. Transformative at 1% in the composition. I can only get a slight detection upon dilution, it’s a hard one for me to smell on it’s own. It’s once it’s in the mix is where it shines. Exalts woods and musks to a higher level and oh boy does this stuff linger in the air. Sillage foghorn. Fun to experiment with.

   An interesting raw material, I am still finding a place to use it. I find it hard to smell, even diluted but its effect can be perceived in use. I’ve been playing around with it in a musk-sandalwood-orris formula to see if it can act as a bridge between these different arcs. In this formula it has modified my woody accord and it adds a unique aspect to the musk accord – slightly indolic. As a raw material it is more subtle than I expected but I know it is capable of creating unique effects so I will continue to explore its capabilities!!

   This is a unique material, not the easiest or most intuitive to use but definitely has its uses. Animalic and sharp, powerful (to my nose), substantive and easily underestimated – tends to stick out like a sore thumb if overdosed, particularly in the drydown. On it’s own it’s like a cross between sharp BO and old cat urine, which is not exactly an appealing description. However, when properly blended it really increases the diffusion and impact of woody and amber materials and turns musk blends animalic. Can also add the sharp quality of cigar smoke to tobacco blends, I find.

   For me, this is pretty similar to other dry woody amber materials. I don’t personally find it all that animalic or musky. Compared to things like Norlimbanol or Ambermax it seems to have a more incensey feel to it. I found it worked well in a tobacco accord and it also seems to fit in quite nicely with sandalwood oil. I typically use it in traces due to its high strength and also because I have read that many people actually perceive it as quite unpleasant or sweaty smelling.

   Definitely a fun material to experiment with and one that produce potentially very exciting effects.
