Profile

Norlimbanol is curated in this catalog as an ambery material, with a secondary reading of dry wood.

On the strip it reads harsh dry woody amber.

It is registered under CAS 50298-43-2.

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 0.41 · the base

A boiling point of 320 °C and a molecular weight of 226.4 g/mol give Norlimbanol 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.

Questions about Norlimbanol

What does Norlimbanol smell like?

Norlimbanol reads as ambery and dry wood, described in the catalog as harsh dry woody amber.

Is Norlimbanol a top, heart or base note?

Norlimbanol sits in the base. Its volatility index of 0.41 is computed from a boiling point of 320 °C and a molecular weight of 226.4 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 Norlimbanol should I use?

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

The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are Karmawood (IFF) (99.2% match), Amberwood F (Symrise) (98.8% match) and Ambrocenide (93.8% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like Norlimbanol. Ranking ignores price.

What is the CAS number for Norlimbanol?

Norlimbanol is registered under CAS 50298-43-2 in this catalog.
