Isobutyl Quinoline 10% in DPG

Isobutyl Quinoline (IBQ) 10% in DPG is a pre-diluted version of the classic perfumery material, designed for safe, controlled, and easy use. Known for its distinctive leathery, earthy, and mossy aroma, IBQ is a cornerstone ingredient in creating chypre, leather, and vintage-style fragrances.

Diluted to 10% in Dipropylene Glycol (DPG), this version allows perfumers to work with precision—making it ideal for both beginners and professionals who want to explore its powerful character without overwhelming their compositions.

Key Benefits:

• Pre-Diluted Formula: 10% in DPG for easy handling and accurate dosing
• Classic Leathery: Distinctive mossy and earthy scent profile
• Safer & Manageable: More controlled than pure IBQ
• Perfect for Learning: Ideal for testing and fine-tuning accords
• Professional Quality: Blends smoothly into complex compositions
• Iconic Material: Cornerstone of chypre and leather fragrances

Perfumery Profile:

• Note Type: Base Note
• Scent Character: Leathery, earthy, mossy, slightly bitter-green
• Dilution: 10% in DPG

Blending Suggestions:

Isobutyl Quinoline pairs exceptionally well with chypre notes (oakmoss, labdanum, patchouli), woody bases (cedarwood, vetiver, sandalwood), animalic accords (castoreum-style blends, musks), and florals (rose and violet for classic leather florals).

Applications:

• Leather and chypre perfumes
• Vintage and classic fragrance recreations
• Attars and oil-based perfumes
• Experimental accords and training formulas

Usage Tips:

Use in very small amounts (0.01%–0.5% of final composition). Ideal for adding depth, dryness, and leathery character. Start low and build gradually for balance. Works best when supported with mossy and woody notes.

Safety & Storage:

For external use only. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Keep tightly sealed to preserve quality.
