About this material

Indole 10% opens with a strong, fecal, and slightly floral note that can be quite overwhelming at first. As it develops, the scent softens, revealing a more complex character with hints of jasmine and a deeper, earthy quality that adds richness to floral compositions. In a formula, it acts as a fixative and enhances the depth of white florals, making them more sensual and intriguing. It pairs well with other floral notes like jasmine and tuberose, as well as with musks to create a more rounded base. The typical usage in this catalogue is between 1.900% and 9.10%, usually around 5.500%.
