Cashmeran – Pure & Undiluted

Sarochem™ Cashmeran — Product Description & Specs Title / Name Sarochem™ Cashmeran(INCI / IUPAC: 1,1,2,3,3-Pentamethyl-1,2,3,5,6,7-hexahydro-4H-inden-4-one) Olfactive / Sensory Profile Olfactive description: Diffusive, spicy, slightly animalic with floral reinforcement. Powdery, velvety nuance, amber-woody with red fruit and pine undertones. Works well in middle to base notes; adds warmth, softness, and sophistication to woody/amber accords. Strength & impact:• Top: Medium• Heart: Medium• Base: Medium Physical & Chemical Properties Property Value / Characteristic Molecular formula C₁₄H₂₂O Molecular weight ~ 206.2 g/mol Vapor pressure ~ 0.009316 mm Hg @ 23 °C Log P (octanol/water partition) ~ 4.20 (relatively non-polar) Substantivity (lasting power) Up to ~ 48 hours in fragrance systems Typical use level Traces up to ~ 2% in fine fragrance formulas CAS Number 33704-61-9 IPC / internal code 32329 Highlights & Benefits (for the Buyer) Adds a silky, warm woody-amber character without emphasis on heaviness. Helps smooth transitions between top/heart/base notes; gives a “velvet touch” to blends. Compatible with floral, oriental, woody accords. Stable and robust in fine fragrance systems (excellent performance & stability). Vegan-suitable (though not biodegradable). Usage Guidelines & Tips Dilution / Blending Because of its potency and cost, use traces to ~2% in most formulations. (In many cases 0.2–0.5% is enough to notice effect.) Always pre-dissolve in a compatible solvent (e.g. DPG, IPM) before adding to your main base, especially for heavier substances. Test cloudiness / precipitation at low temp – if it crystallizes, reduce water or use more solubiliser (e.g. IPM). Compatibility & Pairings Blends especially well with Timbersilk, Citronellol, Iso Eugenol, Delta Damascone and other floral/woody materials. Useful in spicy-floral, oriental, woody accords as anchor or accent. Tutorial: How to Use Sarochem™ Cashmeran in EDPs, Attars, EDT Below is a simplified step-by-step approach (for small / test batches) that you can share with customers or use in your lab. 1. Decide your Target: EDP, EDT, Attar, etc. Product Type Typical Fragrance Load Key Focus EDP (Eau de Parfum) ~15 % fragrance in base Balance between longevity and projection EDT (Eau de Toilette) ~8–12 % fragrance Lighter, more ethereal scent Attar / Extrait / Oil ~20–30 % (or more) Rich, long-lasting, oil-based 2. Prepare Your Solvent / Carrier Base Since you’ve specified limitations (no DPM, no TEC, no benzyl benzoate), your likely base consists of DPG Ethanol IPM or other carriers you can use. Example base (for EDP):• DPG – 70 %• Ethanol – 15 %• IPM – 15 % (This gives you a balanced base for adding fragrance oils.) 3. Incorporate Cashmeran Pre-dissolve Sarochem™ Cashmeran in a small amount (say 5–10 %) of your base or in IPM to ensure full solubility. Add the dissolved solution into your fragrance concentrate (oils) and mix thoroughly. Add that final fragrance mixture into your bulk carrier base. Mix well, let rest (macerate) for some days if possible. Example for EDP: If your target is 15 % fragrance load:• 85 g base 15 g fragrance (which already contains small % of Cashmeran). Cashmeran usage might be ~0.2–1.0 g in that 15 g fragrance portion (i.e. 0.02–0.1 % of total). 4. Maturation / Maceration & Filtration Let the blend rest (mature) for 7–14 days (or longer, depending on volume) in closed, dark containers. This helps the accords settle and any instability resolve. After maceration, filter (e.g. 0.45 µm or suitable membrane) before final bottling to remove particles. 5. Quality Checks & Final Steps Clarity test: store some sample bottles at cool temp (5–10 °C) and see if crystallization or cloud forms. Stability: heat, light, freeze tests to see if color or odor changes. Scent throw & longevity: test on blotters, skin, or vials over time (1 h, 8 h, 24 h). Adjust if needed: if throw too weak, increase volatile fraction (ethanol) or fragrance load; if fading too soon, increase more fixative-type materials.
