Profile

Heliotropin is curated in this catalog as a warm sweet material, with a secondary reading of powdery.

On the strip it reads powdery cherry almond floral.

It is registered under CAS 120-57-0.

The catalog records an average working dose of 5% Max%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.

How it behaves

volatility index 0.58 · the heart

A boiling point of 264 °C and a molecular weight of 150.13 g/mol give Heliotropin a volatility index of 0.58, which places it in the heart of a composition.

It arrives as the opening thins and holds the centre of a composition, which is where most of the character of a fragrance is decided.

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 Heliotropin

What does Heliotropin smell like?

Heliotropin reads as warm sweet and powdery, described in the catalog as powdery cherry almond floral.

Is Heliotropin a top, heart or base note?

Heliotropin sits in the heart. Its volatility index of 0.58 is computed from a boiling point of 264 °C and a molecular weight of 150.13 g/mol, rather than assigned by hand. It arrives as the opening thins and holds the centre of a composition, which is where most of the character of a fragrance is decided.

How much Heliotropin should I use?

The catalog records an average working dose of 5% Max% for Heliotropin. 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 Heliotropin?

The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are Anisaldehyde (75.2% match), Ethyl Maltol (75.2% match) and Violiff - IFF (70.7% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like Heliotropin. Ranking ignores price.

What is the CAS number for Heliotropin?

Heliotropin is registered under CAS 120-57-0 in this catalog.
