The result is an elegant, woody-tinted amber note; DL shares its CAS number 3738-00-9 with Cetalox® from the same house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOdor Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“An elegant ambery note with a rich woody character.” – the manufacturer’s description\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFragrance family: Ambery; heart and base note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerceptible on a blotter for about a month (tenacity 12 on the manufacturer’s scale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite crystalline solid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRole in the Formula\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“This ingredient provides warmth, richness and elegance to all areas of perfumery from sheer florals to modern ambers,” the manufacturer writes.
