Tonalide (10% in DPG) is a widely used synthetic musk aroma chemical known for its soft, sweet, clean musky scent with subtle powdery and amber undertones. This diluted form makes Tonalide easier to blend into perfumes, cosmetics, and personal care products while maintaining its excellent fixation and smooth diffusion.
In perfumery, Tonalide functions primarily as a base note and fixative, helping to extend the longevity of lighter top and heart notes. Its smooth musk character adds warmth, softness, and a clean skin-like effect that enhances the overall harmony of fragrance compositions.
Tonalide is commonly used in modern perfumes, soaps, shampoos, detergents, lotions, and home fragrance products, where its musky sweetness creates a long-lasting and comforting scent profile. It is particularly effective in floral, amber, woody, and clean musk fragrances, helping to anchor delicate notes and provide a refined base.
This ingredient blends beautifully with rose, jasmine, citrus notes, aldehydes, woody materials, vanilla, amber, and other musks, making it an essential component for both professional perfumers and DIY fragrance creators.
The 10% dilution in DPG (Dipropylene Glycol) improves handling and ensures easier incorporation into oil-based and alcohol-based formulations.
At HERBOLOGY, our Tonalide is supplied as high-quality perfumery-grade material, ideal for building smooth musky bases and improving fragrance longevity in modern perfume compositions.
