Iso E Super™ (Cedarwood Note)
Iso E Super™ is a synthetic fragrance note known for its distinctive, velvety, and woody scent profile with subtle cedarwood and amber nuances. Its aroma is soft, smooth, and slightly musky, adding a warm, elegant quality to perfumes. Iso E Super™ enhances the overall composition by creating a unique, skin-like effect that blends seamlessly with other notes. It is often used as a base note to impart depth and longevity, pairing well with florals, resins, and citrus notes to create balanced and sophisticated fragrances.
History & Production: Iso E Super™ was developed by the International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) company in the 1970s. It is a synthetic molecule created through chemical synthesis, designed to replicate the soft, woody essence of cedarwood. Its unique ability to create a “radiant” effect on the skin made it a groundbreaking addition to modern perfumery. Iso E Super™ is highly valued for its versatility and is often used as a subtle yet powerful background note that enhances the overall structure and sillage of a fragrance, making it a popular choice in contemporary perfume compositions.
