2,4-Xylenol

Über diesen Rohstoff

2,4-Xylenol opens with a sharp, slightly medicinal aroma that has a distinct phenolic character, reminiscent of antiseptic or clean surfaces. As it develops, it reveals a more rounded, sweet, and slightly woody undertone that softens the initial harshness. In a formula, it acts as a fixative and can enhance the longevity of other notes, particularly in fresh or clean compositions. It pairs well with citrus and herbal notes, adding depth and complexity without overwhelming the blend. The typical usage in this catalogue is around 3.000%, making it a reliable choice for adding a clean, lasting quality to fragrances.
