Description :
Cyclopentadecanone, also known as Ambrettolide, is a macrocyclic ketone widely used in the fragrance and flavor industry. It has a musky, sweet odor and is valued for its long-lasting scent and fixative properties. Its molecular formula is C15H28O, and it is insoluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents, making it suitable for perfumes, cosmetics, and aroma formulations.
Adds musky, sweet, and long-lasting notes to perfumes, body sprays, and cosmetic products.
Commonly blended with Muskolide, Undecavertol, and Ambercore to create complex, enduring fragrance compositions.
Acts as a fixative, enhancing the longevity of delicate top and middle notes.
Occasionally used in flavor formulations to impart subtle musky and sweet nuances, often combined with esters like Methyl Hexanoate and Methyl 10-Undecenoate for complex flavor profiles.
Serves as an intermediate for the synthesis of fine chemicals and aroma derivatives.
Used in R&D laboratories for creating macrocyclic ketone-based compounds and perfume analogs.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat sources and oxidizing agents.
Use protective gloves, goggles, and clothing when handling.
Avoid direct inhalation, skin contact, and eye exposure.
Keep containers tightly sealed to preserve purity and fragrance stability.
