Profile

Quinoline is curated in this catalog as a leathery material, with a secondary reading of animalic.

On the strip it reads Animalic leather quinoline.

It is registered under CAS 91-22-5.

How it behaves

volatility index 0.65 · the opening

A boiling point of 237 °C and a molecular weight of 129.16 g/mol give Quinoline a volatility index of 0.65, 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 Quinoline

What does Quinoline smell like?

Quinoline reads as leathery and animalic, described in the catalog as Animalic leather quinoline.

Is Quinoline a top, heart or base note?

Quinoline sits in the opening. Its volatility index of 0.65 is computed from a boiling point of 237 °C and a molecular weight of 129.16 g/mol, rather than assigned by hand. It leaves the strip early and does its work in the first minutes, before the heart arrives.

What can I use instead of Quinoline?

The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are para-Cresol (95% match), Valspice (4 Methyl Guaiacol) (Natural) (94.7% match) and Indole (75.7% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like Quinoline. Ranking ignores price.
