Helvetolide® Customer
Helvetolide® is one of the few musks that can be perceived not just in the dry down but also in the top notes of a fragrance. It is considered a radiant (like the rose ketones) and even traces can have enormous impact on a perfume.
Having a delicate nuance of pears, this musk is an excellent addition to gourmand type fragrances.
Combine Helvetolide with our highly popular Pear Belle base, or blend it with other musks to increase their power and diffusion.

Helvetolide® has a sophisticated, clean musk aroma with a distinctive pear-like fruity top note, complemented by subtle ambrette-seed nuances and an elegant, warm character that feels modern and refined.

General Information
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.
