Description and usage notes:
A lovely floral-sweet material for creating a soft, powdery carnation scent and as a substitute for isoeugenol, it is also valuable as a complexing agent for vanilla, tobacco, leather and fruit accords.
Recommended usage is up to 3% of the formula but it is often effective in traces.
Description from Givaudan: “Spicy, Carnation, Sweet, Vanilla, a Givaudan captive for several years an elegant, spicy/sweet ingredient with a similar olfactive note to Isoeugenol, but with an additional powdery aspect reminiscent of carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus). Unlike Isoeugenol, it is much less susceptible to discolouration and, importantly, is not restricted by IFRA.”

An interesting and useful material, but not quite the same as iso-eugenol, and not as versatile. For me, this is much smokier and more complex, making it more difficult to blend. It works extremely well in a leather context, but for spicy florals the difficult side notes are sometimes a challenge.

If I could take one AC with me to a desert island, I would take this sweet carnation delight. Swoon worthy when blended with my other favorites: Benzyl acetate and Ethyl vanillin. A must have.
