2,6-Xylenol

Über diesen Rohstoff

2,6-Xylenol has a sharp, slightly sweet, and medicinal scent that opens with a noticeable phenolic character, reminiscent of disinfectants or certain herbal notes. As it develops, it reveals a softer, more rounded aspect that can add a subtle warmth and complexity to a formula. This material works well as a supporting note in compositions, particularly in aromatic or fougère styles, where it can enhance freshness without overpowering other elements. It pairs nicely with citrus and green notes, helping to bridge the gap between bright top notes and deeper, earthier bases. Typically, it is used at a dose of around 4.000%, which provides a balanced presence without becoming too dominant.
