Profile
Cedryl Acetate is curated in this catalog as a pencil shavings material, with a secondary reading of ambery.
On the strip it reads soft sweet cedar pencil.
It is registered under CAS 77-54-3.
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 0.44 · the baseA boiling point of 280 °C and a molecular weight of 264.4 g/mol give Cedryl Acetate a volatility index of 0.44, 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 Cedryl Acetate
What does Cedryl Acetate smell like?
Cedryl Acetate reads as pencil shavings and ambery, described in the catalog as soft sweet cedar pencil.
Is Cedryl Acetate a top, heart or base note?
Cedryl Acetate sits in the base. Its volatility index of 0.44 is computed from a boiling point of 280 °C and a molecular weight of 264.4 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 Cedryl Acetate should I use?
The catalog records an average working dose of 10% Max% for Cedryl Acetate. 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 Cedryl Acetate?
The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are Romandolide (79.6% match), Amberwood F (Symrise) (78.9% match) and Cedrol (77.2% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like Cedryl Acetate. Ranking ignores price.
What is the CAS number for Cedryl Acetate?
Cedryl Acetate is registered under CAS 77-54-3 in this catalog.
