It exhibits an exceptionally low odor threshold, presenting a sophisticated olfactory profile defined by a warm, creamy, and highly substantive woody character, complemented by subtle rosy, floral undertones. Acting as a highly tenacious base note, Javanol possesses unprecedented substantivity, lasting for weeks on a smelling strip. Its superior diffusive power and volume-boosting capabilities make it an excellent choice for fine fragrances, luxury cosmetics, personal care formulations, high-end soap and candle manufacturing, and premium aromatherapy blends. ✨ Key Features & Specifications Chemical Name: [1-Methyl-2-[(1,2,2-trimethylbicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3-yl)methyl]cyclopropyl]methanol CAS Number: 198404-98-7 Origin: Manufactured by Givaudan; Distributed by Shiva Exports India (Kannauj, India) Purity: Min. 98% (Premium Perfumery Grade) Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow, viscous liquid Odor Profile: Intense sandalwood, creamy, warm, woody, with a delicate rosy undertone Refractive Index: 1.470 to 1.476 (at 20°C) Specific Gravity: 0.901 to 0.909 (at 25°C) Tenacity: Outstanding (lasts over 400 hours on a smelling strip) Shelf Life: 24 months when stored in a cool, dry place in airtight containers away from light 📖 Usage & Formulation Guide Trace Level Performance Boosting: Javanol is exceptionally potent. Utilize it at trace concentrations ranging from 0.01% to 1% in the fragrance concentrate to dramatically amplify the performance, radiance, and richness of natural Sandalwood Essential Oil or other synthetic sandalwood chemicals such as Ebanol or Bacdanol. Synergistic Woody-Floral Accords: Incorporate Javanol into modern woody-floral compositions. Its subtle rosy undertone seamlessly bridges heavy base notes with delicate floral heart notes (such as Jasmine, Rose, or Orris), lending a creamy warmth and unparalleled structural volume to the blend. Citrus Extension and Fixation: When blended with highly volatile citrus top notes like Bergamot, Grapefruit, or Sicilian Lemon, Javanol acts as an exceptional fixative. It extends the longevity of these bright top notes deep into the dry-down while smoothing out sharp olfactory edges. Cosmetic and Soap Stability: Thanks to its chemical stability and high substantivity, Javanol is highly recommended for functional perfumery. In soap and candle formulations, a dosage of just 0.1% to 0.5% provides excellent fragrance retention, resisting discoloration and thermal degradation. 🛡️ Quality Assurance At Shiva Exports India, quality is our absolute priority.
