| General comment | Strongly musk, slightly erogenic animal-like |
| Arctander is enthusiastic about it too: “Powerful musky odor, very similar to that of Muscone (Methylcyclopentadecanone) and, in the opinion of many perfumers, superior in type and beauty. It ranks among the finest and most efficient fixatives known, and like Cyclopentadecanolide it improves the wearability’ of a perfume when properly incorporated in the fragrance. Its power becomes more perceptible and evident in extreme dilution, e.g. below one percent in the perfume oil.” Comes as fine crystals. | Musk, sweet, animalic, powdery |
