Descriptors
woody

A fresh, cool woody-herbal aroma chemical with a distinct camphoraceous-minty lift over a soft cedar-like base. Reminiscent of the Iso-Cyclocitral / Iso-Hexyl cyclohexanone family — clean, slightly medicinal, with a natural pine-terpene facet that dries down woody.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Dry-woody, orrisy and tenacious odor.

Uses in perfumery

It could find use in soap perfumes as a modifier/blender for Ionones and Methyl-ionones, but its dry character puts a rather low limit to the practical concentration of this ketone in a composition.
