Usage
Use (Hekserij)
Muscenone (Fir) has a sweet animalic scent reminiscent of the nitro musks and
natural musks. The smell is strong, making a dilution of, for example, 10% can
therefore be useful. Typical use is as a booster, useful as such in just about
any fragrance, especially in more classic, heavy fragrances. In addition, as a
beautiful musk scent in a musk accord. You usually use between 0.1% and 3% of
this substance in the fragrance composition. It combines well with other musks,
but also with floral scents, especially rose, jasmine and violet. It is
primarily a base note in perfumes and is stable in most products, including
soap.
Physical properties
Properties (Hekserij)
Muscenone (Fir) is a colourless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. The
purity is at least 99% and it has a long shelf life. It does not occur in
nature, it is a synthetic variant of the naturally occurring fragrance muscone.
The manufacturer is the Swiss company Firmenich. We recently changed the name
from Muscenon to Muscenone, Firmenich changed the name to Muscenone delta at
about the same time. In all cases it concerns the same substance. Not to be
confused with muscone, which is a related, but different material.
