Olfactory description
- Character: Musky, soft, creamy and slightly floral.
- Facets: Cosmetic, balmy, with a subtle powdery warmth.
- Effect in compositions:
- Adds volume and roundness to the base.
- Provides a diffuse, skin-like sensuality.
- Enhances the durability and fixation of other ingredients.
- Comparison: Less sharp than classic nitromusks, cleaner and more elegant than many polycyclic musks.
Use in perfumery
- Base note: Often used as a fixative and texturizer in the base of a perfume.
- Combinations :
- Works synergistically with other macrocyclic ketones and lactones.
- Goes well with floral accords (rose, jasmine, iris).
- Gives warmth to wood notes and sensuality to amber accords.
- Dosage: Up to about 10% in the fragrance concentrate (depending on IFRA guidelines and product category).
- Perfume types: Suitable for both fine perfumery (eau de parfum, niche fragrances) and functional perfumery (shampoo, shower gel, body lotion).
Role in perfumes
- Base note & fixative Globanone belongs to the musk family and is mainly used in the base. It extends the life of volatile notes and makes a perfume last longer on the skin.
- Texture and roundness It adds a creamy, soft layer that softens sharp transitions between top, heart and base notes. This makes a fragrance feel more fluid and luxurious.
- Sensuality & skin feel Musk notes such as Globanone give a “skin-like” effect: an intimate, skin-like warmth that makes perfumes sensual and wearable.
- Synergy with other ingredients
- Floral accords (rose, jasmine, iris) gain depth and a powdery elegance.
- Wood notes (sandalwood, cedar) become creamier and softer.
- Amber and vanilla accords are given a warmer, balsamic finish.
- Widely applicable Because it is clean, gentle and versatile, Globanone fits both niche perfumes and mainstream fragrances, as well as functional perfumery (shampoo, body lotion, soap).
Summary: Globanone is the silent architect of a perfume: it builds a soft, musky base that makes the fragrance last longer, sound fuller and more intimate on the skin.
Other applications
- Cosmetics: shampoo, shower gel, body lotion and deodorant (stable in these matrices).
- Household products: Liquid cleaners (except bleach or citric acid products, where stability is not as good).
- Soap: Good stability in solid soap, where it gives a creamy musk base.
In short, Globanone® 50% in DPG is a versatile musk ingredient that gives perfumes a soft, creamy sensuality, works excellently as a fixative and has wide applicability in both luxury perfumes and daily care products.
