Description
Zenolide (ethylene dodecanoate), also known as musconate, is a refined perfumery ingredient prized for its sweet, clean, waxy, and subtly animalic musk aroma. This pale yellow, clear oily liquid delivers a long-lasting and captivating fragrance, with a remarkable substantivity of 348 hours on paper.
Zenolide is versatile in a wide range of fragrance compositions, adding a smooth, musky character that enhances floral, woody, and oriental accords. While it may solidify at colder temperatures, it can be easily melted with gentle warming and will re-crystallize if not fully liquefied.
