About this material

Phytol opens with a fresh, green, and slightly herbaceous scent that has a hint of sweetness, reminiscent of freshly cut grass or green leaves. As it develops, it reveals a more complex, slightly oily character that adds a soft, natural warmth to the blend. In a formula, it acts as a fixative, helping to stabilize and enhance the longevity of other notes, particularly in green and floral compositions. It pairs well with citrus and floral notes, as well as with other green materials to amplify their freshness. The typical usage in this catalogue is around 0.130%, but it can be found in doses ranging from 0.100% to 7.16%.
