Profile

Iso Eugenol is curated in this catalog as a warm spice material, with a secondary reading of clove-like.

On the strip it reads warm clove carnation phenolic.

It is registered under CAS 97-54-1.

The catalog records an average working dose of 0.5% Max%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.

How it behaves

volatility index 0.59 · the heart

A boiling point of 254 °C and a molecular weight of 164.2 g/mol give Iso Eugenol a volatility index of 0.59, 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.
