Descriptions
Comment (FraterWork)
Exaltolide Total is the lower cost (due to lower purity) form of this great musk
from the early 20th century. Exaltolide Total can be used one for one in place
of the more expensive version with virtually the same effect. The remaining text
below describes both the total and high-purity versions.
Exaltolide (and Exaltolide Total) is such a wonderful and versatile musk it has
been in steady use since its discovery in 1930 first as a secret component of
many great bases, but then directly in fragrances such as Jean Carles'
masterpieces Tabu (1932) and Miss Dior (1947) — at around 0.35% with 3.5% each
of Musk Ketone [https://fraterworks.com/products/musk-ketone] and Musk Ambrette
[https://fraterworks.com/products/musk-ambrette].
Exaltolide and Exaltolide Total are most often found in doses below 1% but can
be effective at up to 8% and beyond as seen in Jasmin Noir (2008) by Carlos
Benaim for Bulgari and Champs Elysées (1996) by Jean-Paul Guerlain and Olivier
Cresp for Guerlain.
Our Exaltolide Total is produced by its inventor Firmenich. They say that
Exaltolide “adds depth and roundness to a wide variety of creations. It offers
synergy on the bouquet of a fragrance. It has an especially sensual effect on
skin. This [TOTAL] quality of EXALTOLIDE® is an extremely fine and elegant musk
but more cost effective.”
Odour: powdery, soft, animal (deer), tobacco, natural.
