Documentation Supply PolicyIFRA formulation guide
Generic reference only — not an IFRA certificate, compliance decision or use recommendation. The Responsible Person and qualified safety assessor must assess the actual finished formula using current applicable IFRA Standards, supplementary documentation where available and the CPSR.
Raw-material reference based on recorded CAS numbers. A CAS match identifies a reference entry; it does not verify the supplied grade, composition, purity or finished-product compliance. Naturals, bases and mixtures require composition review.
Source: 51st Amendment overview, held source checked 2026-10-21. Bundle 2026-10-27. Individual Standards prevail over the overview.
No direct IFRA overview entry matched the recorded CAS in this held dataset. This does not mean unrestricted use, absence of relevant Standards or compliance. Constituent restrictions may still apply.

Creative ideas to explore
Creative directions, not tested formulas.Woods in daylight
With bergamot and a crisp citrus openingExplore a spare wood structure with citrus providing the opening contrast. Compare a brighter version with the wood reference and follow how the outline changes, keeping the later impression as important as the first moment.
A softer grain
With sandalwood and a musk directionSet the woody material beside a softer wood reference, then compare a restrained musk variation. Decide whether your concept needs creamy texture, dry definition or more space between its parts before expanding the accord.
Petals on timber
With rose and a clear floral accordTry a flower-and-wood study in which both subjects remain recognisable. Compare the floral reference with the woody variation through the evaluation, noting whether the wood forms a useful backdrop or becomes the centre of the idea.
