Isobutyl Quinoline 1

Isobutyl Quinoline is the quintessential, classic leather molecule ingredient, that compliments not only the recreation of Oud and animalic bases but gives a radiant boost to the overall effect of a composition when combined with Oakmoss. It’s extremely long lasting and is a totally effective fixative.

Arctander describes Isobutyl Quinoline as: “Woody-earthy-mossy, slightly spicy odour somewhat resembling Oakmoss (certain types of extract), Cardamom (with emphasis on the earthy notes) and, in extreme dilution, Ambre-like.”
