Descriptions
Comment (FraterWork)
Galaxolide is a clean and powerful polycyclic musk which, even in extreme
overdoses of 40% or more, allows the other materials in a fragrance to shine
through. It is a highly appreciated musk by consumers. It adds fixation and
exaltation to all fragrances and is frequently blended with other musks which
often take the role of modifiers.
“A clean, powerful and versatile iso-chroman musk having exceptional persistence
and a superb fragrance quality approaching the tone of macrocyclic musks.” — IFF
Galaxolide is often the single largest aromachemical in luxury fragrance brands
such as Tom Ford, Amouage and Creed. It's low cost and popular appeal make it a
must-have for all perfumers.
NOTE: pure Galaxolide is extremely viscous so it needs heat to make it fluid.
For that reason we are selling it here in the standard 50% dilution from IFF as
well as pure. Be sure to check your dilution prior to buying.
