cedarwood oil replacer

Cedarwood oil replacer is a fragrance ingredient characterized by a woody odor profile that includes aromatic cedar and sandalwood notes with a floral touch. This compound serves as an alternative to natural cedarwood oil, offering enhanced stability and consistency for perfumery applications. Known under various synonyms such as cedar wood CFC and cedarwood super (BMV Fragrances), it is classified as a fragrance agent. The product appears as a liquid with physico-chemical properties that support its use in aromatic formulations. For reference, detailed chemical information can be found in the PubChem database. This material is typically sourced via synthetic or semi-synthetic processes designed to replicate natural cedarwood characteristics.

Cedarwood oil replacer mimics the woody aroma found in natural cedarwood oils derived from various species of cedar trees. It finds application in fragrance agents where a lasting woody, oriental scent is desired. This compound enhances the olfactory qualities of perfumes, colognes, and aromatic products, providing a substantivity of approximately 400 hours. Under the IFRA Code of Practice (Global), usage of cedarwood oil replacer is recommended at levels up to 25% in fragrance concentrates. Its aromatic profile suits formulations focused on cedar, woody, and oriental scent categories.

The physical properties of cedarwood oil replacer influence its functionality in fragrance formulations. With a specific gravity ranging from 0.955 to 0.97 measured at 25 °C, the product maintains a density slightly less than water. Its refractive index between 1.502 and 1.512 at 20 °C provides insights into its optical properties. The flash point of this compound is notably high at 212 °F, indicating relative safety under controlled handling conditions. It is soluble in alcohol but insoluble in water, which affects its behavior in different solvent systems and applications. These characteristics enable perfumers to incorporate cedarwood oil replacer effectively in various aromatic compositions.
