Profile

Ethylene Brassylate is curated in this catalog as a musky material, with a secondary reading of warm sweet.

On the strip it reads soft sweet powdery musk.

It is registered under CAS 105-95-3.

The catalog records an average working dose of 20% Max%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.

How it behaves

volatility index 0.35 · the base

A boiling point of 332 °C and a molecular weight of 270.36 g/mol give Ethylene Brassylate a volatility index of 0.35, 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 Ethylene Brassylate

What does Ethylene Brassylate smell like?

Ethylene Brassylate reads as musky and warm sweet, described in the catalog as soft sweet powdery musk.

Is Ethylene Brassylate a top, heart or base note?

Ethylene Brassylate sits in the base. Its volatility index of 0.35 is computed from a boiling point of 332 °C and a molecular weight of 270.36 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 Ethylene Brassylate should I use?

The catalog records an average working dose of 20% Max% for Ethylene Brassylate. 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 Ethylene Brassylate?

The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are Exaltolide (94.7% match), Galaxolide (79.2% match) and Muscone (77.4% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like Ethylene Brassylate. Ranking ignores price.

What is the CAS number for Ethylene Brassylate?

Ethylene Brassylate is registered under CAS 105-95-3 in this catalog.
