Habanolide

About this material

Habanolide® is considered a metallic or hot iron musk. It is a macrocyclic musk of the highest quality by Firmenich, indispensable and certainly irreplaceable (though Globalide® by Symrise is frequently touted as such, but that does have its differences). Habanolide® is a radiant musk which adds freshness and vitality. Habanolide® has featured in numerous modern scents. The writers of Scent and Chemistry give by way of example Silver Mist (2006) by Alessandro Gualtieri for Nasomatto, in which it makes up 25% of the fragrance: 250 Habanolide 250 Ethylene Brassylate 125 Scentolide 25 Cashmeran 10 Exaltone — Fraterworks
