About iso e super
Iso E Super is a synthetic aroma chemical, celebrated for its unique blend of woody, musky, and amber facets. Despite being somewhat elusive and hard to describe, it adds a sophisticated, velvety layer to fragrances, enhancing the overall scent profile without overpowering. Its discovery in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in perfumery, offering a versatile base note that complements a wide range of compositions. It's particularly noted for its diffusive properties and is used in many modern fragrances to impart a lingering, smooth, and almost pheromonal effect.
Synthetic Alternatives
Iso E Super is entirely synthetic, with no direct natural equivalents. It is manufactured through a complex chemical process, involving the reaction of various organic compounds.
Perfumer's Tips
Use sparingly as a base note to add depth and warmth without overwhelming the fragrance bouquet. It can significantly enhance the longevity and sillage of a perfume when used in the right proportions.
