decumaria specialty

Decumaria specialty is a complex fragrance agent widely used in perfumery known for its distinct floral character that combines hawthorn, mimosa, balsamic, anisic, herbal, citrus, and subtle vanilla notes. The material, sometimes referred to as decumaria perfume base, presents a liquid form that is soluble in alcohol but insoluble in water, making it suitable for various fragrance formulations. Its chemical profile includes specific gravity between 1.0441 and 1.0549 at 25 °C and a refractive index ranging from 1.3586 to 1.3634 at 20 °C. This base is sourced and blended to evoke delicate herbal and floral scent nuances and is catalogued under an export tariff code of 3302.90.0010. For comprehensive chemical and structural information, the PubChem database can be referenced.

Decumaria specialty primarily finds application as a fragrance agent within the perfume and cosmetics industries. The blend mimics floral aromas encountered in nature, notably hawthorn and mimosa blossoms, combined with balsamic, anisic, citrus, herbal, and vanilla facets, delivering versatility in scent composition. Although its natural occurrence is emulative of specific botanical sources, decumaria specialty itself is a formulated base rather than a direct extract. Usage guidance aligns with the IFRA Code of Practice (Global), detailing safety recommendations relevant to fragrance agents. This base is designated exclusively for fragrance use and explicitly not authorized for flavor use, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards governing olfactory ingredients in consumer products.

The physical characteristics of decumaria specialty influence its integration into fragrance formulations significantly. Its specific gravity range of approximately 1.044 to 1.055 at 25 °C indicates a liquid denser than water, affecting blending ratios and solution behavior. The refractive index between 1.359 and 1.363 at 20 °C suggests typical aromatic compound optical properties, useful for quality control during production. Its solubility attributes include good solubility in alcohols, facilitating incorporation into alcoholic perfume bases, while remaining insoluble in water, limiting its use in aqueous systems. These characteristics allow formulators to predict its behavior in complex mixtures, ensuring consistent scent delivery and stability under standard ambient temperatures.
