Caryophyllene Oxide
Used in 6 formulas
About this material
Caryophyllene Oxide opens with a crystalline woody sweetness that immediately distinguishes itself from its precursor β-caryophyllene. You'll detect a refined dryness reminiscent of aged cedar and antique furniture with none of the dusty harshness. Its spicy warmth suggests clove and black pepper but smoothed and mellowed through oxidation. It seamlessly connects spicy top notes to woody bases while adding depth to oriental structures. You'll find it indispensable for creating realistic spice reconstructions where it provides the warm woody body beneath sharper phenolic notes. Its unique dry-sweet character prevents fruity accords from becoming cloying while lifting heavier base materials. — Fraterworks
