Profile
Cedrol is curated in this catalog as a pencil shavings material, with a secondary reading of warm sweet.
On the strip it reads soft cedar pencil shavings.
It is registered under CAS 77-53-2.
The catalog records an average working dose of 10% Max%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.
How it behaves
volatility index 0.50 · the baseA boiling point of 273 °C and a molecular weight of 222.37 g/mol give Cedrol a volatility index of 0.50, which places it in the base of a composition.
It evaporates slowly and anchors the drydown, still readable on skin hours after the top notes have gone.
The index runs from 0 for a material that barely leaves the strip to 1 for one that flashes off, and it is computed from boiling point and molecular weight. Inside a real formula the surrounding materials shift where the boundaries fall, so a material can read differently there than it does here.

Questions about Cedrol
What does Cedrol smell like?
Cedrol reads as pencil shavings and warm sweet, described in the catalog as soft cedar pencil shavings.
Is Cedrol a top, heart or base note?
Cedrol sits in the base. Its volatility index of 0.50 is computed from a boiling point of 273 °C and a molecular weight of 222.37 g/mol, rather than assigned by hand. It evaporates slowly and anchors the drydown, still readable on skin hours after the top notes have gone.
How much Cedrol should I use?
The catalog records an average working dose of 10% Max% for Cedrol. Treat that as the starting point for a trial: the right dose depends on what else is in the formula and what you want it to do there.
What can I use instead of Cedrol?
The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are Cedryl Acetate (76.2% match), Sandalore (Givaudan) (72.5% match) and Karmawood (IFF) (72.4% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like Cedrol. Ranking ignores price.
