Caution!

Before purchasing, read all the information below and the general product information.
Not intended for use in food, vape liquids, or other internal use.
Intended for mixing with other fragrances: on its own, the scent can be dull or even unpleasant.
Do not use undiluted on the skin: it is a raw material, not a finished product.

Use

Clonal (IFF) has a citrus scent (orange, mandarin) with notes of metal, aldehyde, and ozone. The scent is not particularly strong; undiluted use is common. It is in general used in citrus accords and marine accords. You typically use between 0,1% and 5% of this substance in fragrance compositions. It combines well with dihydromyrcenol, citral, other aldehydes, and musks. It adds a metallic touch to fragrances. It's rarely used in perfumes, and if mainly because of its metallic note; it's primarily a base note. It is completely stable in most products, including soaps, acidic products, scented candles, and even bleach.

Store in a cool, dry, dark place, and out of reach of children.

The generic name is dodecane nitrile.
This fragrance won't smell good to everyone, especially in its pure form and without other fragrances. It's also possible that it works sometimes and sometimes not, or works in one batch and not in another.
