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.
