Cedrol Crystals AC

Cedrol presents a mild, dry, woody scent with distinctive cedarwood facets, layered with soft earthy and leathery undertones.

It exudes calmness and is frequently used as a fixative in masculine, woody or balsamic fragrance accords.

Cedrol Crystals are highly valued as a natural fixative in perfumery.
Their dry, woody, cedar-like character adds structure and longevity to a wide range of compositions.

They are especially used in:

• Woody and leathery fragrances
• Masculine fougère and chypre blends
• Soaps and detergents (due to their alkaline stability)
• Floral-woody accords, often with ionones or musks
