Romandolide

Romandolide is a masterful expression of modern musk — a refined alicyclic molecule crafted by Firmenich that brings a new dimension of sophistication to contemporary perfumery.

With a delicately transparent musky signature and subtle fruit-berry highlights, Romandolide evokes elegance without sweetness, offering perfumers unparalleled control over clarity, depth, and diffusion.

Unlike traditional polycyclic musks, this molecule provides exceptional tenacity and volume on the dry-down, making it a cornerstone ingredient in premium fragrances that demand both refinement and lasting allure.

Universally perceptible — even at low percentages — Romandolide enriches compositions with a clean, radiant musk that resonates from opening to trail, harmonising beautifully with florals, woods, ambers, and oriental accords.

Engineered for versatility and performance, Romandolide is a staple in luxury fragrance creation — whether you’re accentuating crisp freshness or supporting rich sensuality, this alicyclic musk elevates every palette with timeless sophistication.
