2-Isobutyl Quinoline

About this material

2-Isobutyl Quinoline (not to be confused with Pyralone AKA Isobutyl Quinoline) is a soft but very persistent weedy and leathery chemical. It is the key to the dry down of Aventus (formula below) and works very well in combination with the classic and closely related Pyralone (CAS 65442-31-1) and Isopropyl Quinoline (CAS 135-79-5). Use traces to support moss, roots, patchouli or leather notes, or use a larger amount for a novel character. 2-Isobutyl Quinoline is extremely powerful and very popular in classic chypre and fougère type fragrances. — Fraterworks
