Smells of: medicinal, warm, slightly sweet
Role: fixative / woody-aromatic

2-Isopropyl Phenol opens with a sharp, medicinal note that can be quite striking, reminiscent of antiseptic qualities. As it develops, it reveals a warm, slightly sweet undertone that softens the initial harshness, providing a more rounded character. In a formula, it acts as a fixative and can enhance the longevity of other notes, particularly in woody and aromatic compositions. It pairs well with herbal and green notes, as well as with certain citrus elements, to create a balanced profile. Typically used at around 1.000% in formulations, it can add depth without overwhelming the blend.
