Profile
Limonene D is curated in this catalog as a sweet citrus material, with a secondary reading of piney.
On the strip it reads citrus terpenic pine.
It is registered under CAS 5989-27-5.
The catalog records an average working dose of 20% Max In Concentrate%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.
How it behaves
volatility index 0.75 · the openingA boiling point of 176.1 °C and a molecular weight of 136.23 g/mol give Limonene D a volatility index of 0.75, which places it in the opening of a composition.
It leaves the strip early and does its work in the first minutes, before the heart arrives.
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 Limonene D
What does Limonene D smell like?
Limonene D reads as sweet citrus and piney, described in the catalog as citrus terpenic pine.
Is Limonene D a top, heart or base note?
Limonene D sits in the opening. Its volatility index of 0.75 is computed from a boiling point of 176.1 °C and a molecular weight of 136.23 g/mol, rather than assigned by hand. It leaves the strip early and does its work in the first minutes, before the heart arrives.
How much Limonene D should I use?
The catalog records an average working dose of 20% Max In Concentrate% for Limonene D. 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 Limonene D?
The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are l-Limonene (84.8% match), beta-Pinene (73.4% match) and alpha-Pinene (72.2% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like Limonene D. Ranking ignores price.
