A Schiff-base type material combining the fresh, lemony-rosy green facet of citronellal with the heavy, naphthalenic, faintly fecal-floral character of indole. On a blotter it reads as a soft green-floral with a warm, waxy body and a persistent indolic hum in the drydown, reminiscent of white flowers with citronella lift.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Very viscous, straw-colored liquid.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and most perfume oils. Almost insoluble in propylene glycol.
Fresh-floral and very tenacious odor, recalling the delicate as well as the deep-exotic notes from natural flower material, mostly in Jasmin-Tuberose direction.
This product finds use in the creation of floral bases, where a certain amount of Indole is desirable, yet the effect of so much free Indole is not wanted.
Produced from Indole and Citronellal by condensation in the ratio of 2 mols Indole to 1 mol Citronellal. The condensation may be carried out in an inert odorless solvent.
