Odour profile (FraterWork)
Para-cresol presents a complex olfactory signature that shifts dramatically with concentration—at higher levels, it delivers an intense phenolic, medicinal, and animalic character reminiscent of horse stables, while at extreme dilution, it reveals surprisingly delicate floral facets of narcissus, ylang-ylang, and jasmine.

Descriptions
Comment (FraterWork)
Intensely animal. Those two words really do sum up this powerful chemical. Para Cresol is one of the most versatile materials, finding use as a floraliser in the direction of narcissus and an animaliser; without it such magnificent bases such as Jasmin Blanc [https://fraterworks.com/products/jasmin-blanc-638436], Animalia® CMP [https://fraterworks.com/products/animalia-animalis] and Animusk™ Extra [https://fraterworks.com/products/animusk] wouldn't exist. Under IFRA 51 this has been restricted to a tiny 0.005% but its power makes it still a fully useful material even at that level. It is perhaps one of the least common "essentials".  Due to its potency, we sell Para Cresol in a 10% solution with DPG. If you want something kinder and gentler, we recommend the ester of this alcohol: Para Cresyl Caprylate [https://fraterworks.com/products/para-cresyl-caprylate]. aromachem Best Seller no_reg
