Skatole
SKU: 9UU00413
Skatole (Methyl Indole) has a very animalic civet-like odour but not as fecal with cleaner napthalene decaying-flesh facets too.
If creating a Civet replacement or needing a cleaner Civet note this is a must. Other fragrances where this may be useful are Leather, Animalic, Chypre, Tobacco and traces (less than 0.01%) in any floral especially White florals, Floral Orientals Earthy, Oceanic fragrances but here you will need to dilute to 1% or less before using it.
Warning very powerful we recommend experiencing this as a 1% dilution the first few times you try it.
Note can cause severe discolouration like its relative Indole.
