Usage
Use (Hekserij)
Isobutavan (Giv) has a sweet, spicy scent reminiscent of chocolate and vanilla. The scent is not particularly strong, undiluted use is common. Typical use is in gourmand accords, especially of caramel and chocolate. You usually use between 0,1% and 5% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It is very versatile, just like vanillin, it fits in amber, wood, fruit but also in various floral scents such as honeysuckle. It adds a kind of creaminess to the scent. In perfumes it is mainly a base note, it is stable in most products. In soap it discolours less easily and quickly than for example vanillin and ethyl vanillin.
