Profile
Velvione is curated in this catalog as a musky material, with a secondary reading of animalic.
On the strip it reads warm animalic macrocyclic musk.
It is registered under CAS 37609-25-9.
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 0.45 · the baseA boiling point of 290 °C and a molecular weight of 236.39 g/mol give Velvione a volatility index of 0.45, 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 Velvione
What does Velvione smell like?
Velvione reads as musky and animalic, described in the catalog as warm animalic macrocyclic musk.
Is Velvione a top, heart or base note?
Velvione sits in the base. Its volatility index of 0.45 is computed from a boiling point of 290 °C and a molecular weight of 236.39 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 Velvione should I use?
The catalog records an average working dose of 5% Max% for Velvione. 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 Velvione?
The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are Muscone (100% match), Exaltolide (83.2% match) and Exaltolide Total (83.2% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like Velvione. Ranking ignores price.
What is the CAS number for Velvione?
