Indole
Indole is a white to light brown crystalline solid powdery material.
It’s a bicyclic structure, consisting of a benzene ring fused to a pyrrole ring. Fully aromatic due to delocalised electrons across the fused rings.
It is super strong, with a fecal odour in high concentrations, but at low concentrations, it has a beautifully pleasant, floral scent (like jasmine)
It has the most powerful and intensely diffusive potent scent, far more powerful than Indolarome by IFF, nearly resembling tar in its off-putting and suffocating nature in its raw form.
When diluted to less than 0.1% or combined in blends, it emits strong floral aromas and the most pleasing aura.
Although volatile at room temperature, it exhibits lasting strength.
It is found naturally in coal tar, animal feces, and many plants.
It is commonly used as a component of jasmine and orange blossom perfumes (in low concentrations).
The absolute companion to any Jasmine formulation.
