    Clearwood® PRISMA is an exciting 2024 release from Firmenich. It is previously a captive 100% natural (ISO 9235) and sustainable biotech product and marks the ten year anniversary of Clearwood, one of the company's most iconic products. We are excited to be the first retailer to offer this marvel.

    Clearwood® PRISMA boasts an astounding 90–99% patchoulol content and so, in pure form, it is solid (similar to candle wax) but at certain warmer temperatures it may be liquid.

    Firmenich also makes this product at 50% blended in Hedione® (product code 970961) due to the performance boost found in the their laboratory tests and as a prevention against solidification; we certainly concur with their master-perfumers and scientists — the Hedione Clearwood blend is a revelation. However, for those customers who prefer it, we also offer Clearwood PRISMA at 50% in odourless IPM.

    In Firmenich's own words: “Clearwood® Prisma, at low dosage, adds a sheer touch, harmonizing with a nuanced patchouli background. Compared to Clearwood® and Patchouli Indonesia, it reigns with sheer brilliance, keeping the citrusy sparkling notes and the spicy ones, while its counterparts, though voluminous, seem to veil the citrus and spice in their embrace. Clearwood® Prisma gives a new chypre-like vibe.”

    Clearwood® PRISMA blends with classic Clearwood®, Iso E Super and other light wood materials and can be used as a one for one replacer for natural patchouli oil. Use it in traces up to overdose. Undiluted Clearwood® PRISMA can serve as a stand in for the marvellous 99% pure Patchoulol Crystals that we also stock.

    From an olfactive perspective, Clearwood PRISMA is more intensely patchouli than the non-PRISMA product. It is still cleaner than classic patchouli oils but it has far more interesting facets than traditional Clearwood.

    General Information

    Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.

    All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.

    IFRA Standards

    Permitted amounts in finished product:

    IFRA 51: 100%
    IFRA49: 100%

    These are derived from calculated concentrations which do not replace chromatographic quantification on individual lots. Disclaimer...

    For Trade Use Only

    Our products are intended as building blocks in the perfume creation process; they are not to be applied to the skin undiluted.

    Awesome material

    Mine was the dilution in Hedione. So far I’ve only been able to test in a few compositions with rose, but this is definitely going to be hugely useful. There’s a cleanliness and brightness in the material that belies great versatility. Can’t wait until the restock. In some ways, it doesn’t quite seem like patchouli material.

    Clearwood, but clearer

    Comparing this to some regular clearwood I have, the prisma does not have the herbal dirt-like notes that the original has. Instead, this has this very ambery, airy, clean lift to its herbal quality with a slight white musky undertone that overall gives this a much cleaner profile than the regular clearwood. This certainly smells of clearwood, but less in your face about it, while not compromising on potency. Prisma clearwood is definitely more transparent than the original, which makes it useful when you want a much less heavy-smelling, yet clearly pronounced, patchouli note in your chypre fragrance

    Multifaceted

    I really enjoy the way this is somehow quite and load at the same time. A true gem. Thank you.
