Timbersilk (IFF) is a fragrance for use in, for example, perfume, cosmetics, soap, and air fresheners.

Use

Timbersilk (IFF) has a warm woody scent, but it is the 'velvet effect' that gives the fragrance that makes it so popular. The scent is medium strong, but not quickly overpowering. It can therefore be used undiluted. Timbersilk (IFF) can be used in almost any composition. Think of it as a variant of Iso E Super (IFF), which you mainly use for compositions with a clear wood aspect. You usually use between 2% and 15% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It is primarily a base note in perfumes and is stable in most products, including soaps, candles and acidic products. Only in bleach is the substance not recommended.

You can make a variant of Molecule 01 with Timbersilk (IFF). Then use Timbersilk instead of Iso E Super, the result is also cedar wood-like. A combination of both is of course also possible.

Keep cool, dry, dark and out of reach of children.

Properties

Timbersilk (IFF) is a pale yellow to yellow liquid at room temperature. The purity is at least 89% (total of a number of isomers). The substance has a fairly long shelf life. The substance does not occur in nature, it is made synthetically. Raw materials for it are largely vegetable. The manufacturer is IFF.

Timbersilk is a fragrance from IFF, which launched it in 2012. It is a variant of Iso E Super. The scent is much cleaner and softer than Iso E Super with a very clear cedar aspect, in addition to the amber scent that Iso E Super also has. The difference between Iso E Super and Timbersilk is the ratio of the 'isomers' in the mixture, Timbersilk contains more of the alpha, gamma and delta isomer than Iso E Super, and less of the beta isomer.

Timbersilk is not a 1 on 1 replacement for Iso E Super. The effect is very similar, but the smell is not.
