Habanolide (Firmenich)

Habanolide from Firmenich is an extremely powerful and elegant musk.

It is a very performing musk note typical of macrocyclic musks with a waxy and slightly metallic undertone.

It combines the strength and tenacity of the aromatic musks with the pleasantness and elegance of the macrocyclic musks.

Habanolide is used to add depth, diffusion, and persistence to perfumes.

It blends well with floral, woody, and amber notes and is valued for its long-lasting and subtle yet powerful presence.

It is photostable and relatively stable in most formulations, making it suitable for use in both fine fragrances and functional products like detergents and cosmetics.

As a synthetic musk, habanolide avoids the ethical and ecological issues associated with animal musks, making it a more sustainable alternative.

Excellent in all applications.
