Anhydrol is a trade name for anhydrous (absolute) ethanol used as a perfumery solvent. It smells sharply alcoholic and slightly sweet on the nose, flashing off quickly with a clean, near-neutral drydown and no perfumery character of its own.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Anhydrols are usually viscous liquids of pale color.

Solubility

Anhydrols are soluble in alcohol and essential oils as well as in most synthetic perfume materials.

Uses in perfumery

Anhydrols are processed perfume materials produced from natural raw materials without the presence of water or steam. They are ideal for extracting aromatic components that are not distillable with steam.

Production

The resulting extract may then be distilled in a molecular still at approximately 10 torr. This process involves converting a liquid or low-melting solid of high boiling point into vapor phase, which is then condensed back to liquid phase.
