How it behaves

volatility index 0.41 · the base

A boiling point of 320 °C and a molecular weight of 222.371 g/mol give Javanol (Givaudan) a volatility index of 0.41, 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.
