Profile

Edenolide (IFF) is curated in this catalog as a musky material, with a secondary reading of soft musk.

On the strip it reads Musky, soft musk, soft skin musk.

It is registered under CAS 478695-70-4.

The catalog records an average working dose of 30% Max%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.

How it behaves

volatility index 0.42 · the base

A boiling point of 288.6 °C and a molecular weight of 270.36 g/mol give Edenolide (IFF) a volatility index of 0.42, 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.
