Scent profile

Note type (FraterWork)

Base Note

Odour profile (FraterWork)

BHT has an extremely faint phenolic-camphoraceous character with subtle musty, cresylic undertones that becomes completely imperceptible at typical usage levels in perfumery.

Longevity (FraterWork)

Lasts 400 hours on a smelling strip.

Appearance (FraterWork)

Colourless crystals

Descriptions

Comment (FraterWork)

BHT arrives as white crystalline powder with the faintest whisper of phenolic character that vanishes entirely once dissolved at working strength. This near-odourless profile makes it the perfect silent protector in perfumery. You'll detect nothing at the 0.1% level typically used to stabilise volatile aldehydes and citrus oils. Transform your most fragile materials into shelf-stable champions by adding BHT directly to pure aldehydes upon receipt. Watch as those temperamental aliphatic aldehydes maintain their sparkling character instead of degrading into rancid acids. Citrus oils retain their zesty freshness for years rather than developing stale terpene notes. Dissolve crystals directly in your fragrance concentrate before dilution for seamless incorporation and complete protection. Combine BHT with tocopherols [https://fraterworks.com/products/tocopherol] for synergistic antioxidant power that outperforms either alone. Add citric acid to chelate trace metals that catalyse oxidation. This multi-pronged approach delivers superior stability using lower total antioxidant levels—perfect for meeting modern formulation demands whilst maintaining exceptional performance. aromachem Best Seller Missing_EU/Specs MISSING_HS_CODE_ORIGIN missing_IFRA51 missing_info no_reg
