PHANTOLIDE

Chemical properties

PHANTOLIDE is a almost white crystalline mass melting at about 35℃ to a viscous almost colorless liquid. Soluble in Ethyl alcohol and perfume materials. Sweet-musky, somewhat animal and slightly sour-sweaty odor of great tenacity. Blends excellently with Ionones, Sandalwood oil, and many non-floral, high-boiling perfume materials. Tends to develop a sour note during prolonged storage in closed containers. Produces useful musky effects in perfumes at concentrations above 100. Concentrations higher than 4-5 % may cause perceptible misbalance in perfumes, unless the musk is accompanied by suitable blending materials of similar evaporation rate.
