A generic synthetic musk character — soft, warm, and skin-like with a powdery, slightly sweet animalic warmth. Diffuse and clean rather than sharp, giving a rounded, sensual base that lingers close to the skin.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Pale yellowish crystals or yellowish-whitish crystalline powder.
Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol, soluble in Diethylphthalate, soluble in Benzylbenzoate. Sufficiently soluble in most perfume materials, except in terpenes and other hydrocarbons. Almost insoluble in propylene glycol and glycerin.
Delicately sweet-musky, mildly, but unquestionably animal-like and very tenacious odor.
This Nitromusk represents one of the most successful improvements of the three classical musks. The title material has the advantage of being stable under exposure to daylight, yet it has the odor characteristics of Musk Ketone, perhaps slightly more delicately animal and sweet. This musk is used on a large scale even today with strong competition from non-nitrous musks. It contributes pleasant and lasting undertones in powdery-floral and Oriental fragrances, in colognes and soap perfumes.
The subject Nitromusk is not permitted in food flavors in the U.S.A.
Produced from meta-Xylene via its tertiary-Butylderivative, followed by treatment with formaldehyde and hydrochloric acid, reduction and nitration to title material.
