This ingredient delivers a rich and creamy scent with pronounced notes of sandalwood and rose across various fragrance compositions. Thanks to its exceptional stability, it can be used at extremely low concentrations in a variety of cosmetic and household products while maintaining its olfactory performance. Some perfumers also detect subtle notes of clary sage and amber, adding depth to the fragrance.
Chemically known as cyclopropanemethanol, 1-methyl-2-[(1,2,2-trimethylbicyclo[3,1,0]hex-3-yl)methyl]-, this ingredient is synthesized in a laboratory using various methods. Fragrance producers are increasingly turning to renewable starting materials for its production, helping to conserve the planet's natural resources.
Molecular stability: The chemical structure of this ingredient allows it to retain its scent for much longer periods compared to many natural ingredients, offering greater longevity in the final product.
Natural resource protection: The use of this synthetic ingredient helps reduce pressure on natural sandalwood forests, which face significant sustainability challenges due to overexploitation.
Olfactory performance: Although used in extremely small amounts (a few parts per million), this ingredient has the ability to completely transform a product's fragrance profile.
