Luebke, William tgsc, (1986) | At 10.00 % in dipropylene glycol. fresh watery clean melon green marine ozone phenolic |
The ingredient is very trendy and has been widely used since the 1990’s. The ingredient is the basis of several perfumes. | This unusual odorant has intense ozone and marine notes with floral overtones |
General comment | Marine moss ozone floral heliotrope melon green fresh |
The classic fresh, watery, marine note used in many modern compositions, here in an easier to use liquid form originally made available by Firmenich it’s at 50% in DME (carbitol) but the material for sale here is a generic equivalent. | Fresh, watery, clean, melon-green, marine, ozone |
