Description

Description and usage notes:

An enriching, volumising ingredient with diffusive capabilities similar to that of Iso E Super; also has a slightly smoky background note.

Description from Givaudan: “Kephalis is a very versatile and rich product, used as a long lasting heart/basic note. It blends well with floral notes (jasmine, rose, violet, lavender, etc.) as well as sophisticated amber, woody-aldehydic, tobacco and masculine creations.”

The Scent and Chemistry authors point out that Kephalis, just like Cashmeran, is often a key component of synthetic reconstructions of oud / agarwood.

    john (verified owner) – June 18, 2016

    This is a useful product which appears in many formulas. It is somewhat similar to PTBCHA (Vertenex), but the fruity (juice fruit chewing gum) aspect of the latter is toned down in favour of a richer, cedar quality.

    Ben – February 13, 2017

    Really impressed, out of the bottle it doesn’t smell like much but after spraying it’s very nice. Kind of black agar meets ISO e, airy, woody and honey-sweet. It has a strange solvent like texture which if played on would make some amazing blends.
    Very CDG 🙂

    Tom (verified owner) – November 16, 2017

    Gives a gorgeous masculine lift to any wood accord. You will “hear” a nice echo of a distant lemony top note within this tobacco/wood middle-to-base note.
    I get how one can find it similar to Vertenex (especially the HC version). However, Kephalis is much brighter and, to me, stands BETWEEN wood and tobacco, like a richly faceted link.
    I must confess, I cannot stand neither Vertenex nor Vertofix…

    Vivienne (verified owner) – November 22, 2017

    This is going to be my new go to for deeper I g but lifting a fragrance that has to be yang centric. Been using ambrette seed but much prefer this.

    leom (verified owner) – January 24, 2018

    Great product with lots of potential.Some really nice nuance’s within the smell and really versatile. Good value and for me an essential item to build character of fragrance. Great stuff

  8. Rated 5 out of 5

    ch.enzensperger (verified owner) – March 5, 2018

    Oh, I love this stuff. So warm, woody, powdery, tobacco and soft. I also smell a clear ambegris note.
    I read anywhere an association with the dust of brickstones. (When workers are drilling or sawing asphalt or bricks)
    Unfortunately this association disturbs the overall great impression. Adding some vanilla completely cancells out the brick-flavour. What remains is a wonderful warm woody note!
    Crazy, but wonderful!

    Wood, flowers, lemon zest, spice, water. All about it. Non-standard and interesting.

  10. Rated 5 out of 5

    Lucy Oldham (verified owner) – August 20, 2018

    This has a real “sparkle” when you add it to other wood notes. It just give a little bit of air and scintillation to stop the woods becoming heavy. Bright and nuanced, I find it indispensable in a whisky accord.

  11. Rated 5 out of 5

    peter9370 – September 10, 2019

    When I got Kit 4, this was the material which first really grabbed my attention first – woody/amber but with something else: the word which comes to mind is “sophisticated”. Really beautiful.

  12. Rated 5 out of 5

    marschalka (verified owner) – December 10, 2019

    Lovely note. It gives impression of bitter (but not citrus) side of grapefruit overlapping with Iso E and dry lavender tobacco.

    Quietly sexy. Enriching and vibrant
