Iso E Super

A Modern Woody-Amber Aroma Chemical

Iso E Super is one of the most widely used aroma chemicals in modern perfumery. It belongs to the woody-amber olfactive family and is known for its smooth, transparent and velvety character.

Its scent combines a soft woody impression with warm amber nuances and a subtle cedar-like character. Unlike heavier woody materials, Iso E Super creates a feeling of space, smoothness and elegance while allowing other ingredients in the composition to shine.

What Does Iso E Super Add to a Fragrance?

Iso E Super is valued by perfumers for its ability to provide:

• Diffusion – Enhances the fragrance aura and helps the composition radiate in the air.

• Volume & Fullness – Gives a fragrance a more spacious and complete character.

• Smoothness – Helps blend different materials together and soften harsh edges.

• Woody Character – Adds a clean, modern and transparent woody effect.

• Substantivity – Contributes to the lasting presence of the fragrance on skin and blotter.

Rather than simply adding a woody note, Iso E Super can influence the way the entire composition is perceived, giving it a more contemporary, smooth and sophisticated character.
