Timbersilk is the close relative of Iso E Super (Patchouli Ethanone), in fact it is effectively the same material except that the two products have a different balance of isomers which effects their odour strength.
Iso E Super itself is relatively weak - most of its odour comes from small amounts of two of its related isomers: the gamma isomer and Arborone (Iso E Super Plus - the main odour vector of the material). Iso E Super has 4.8% Arborone and 11.7% Iso Gamma, while Timbersilk has 8.5% Arborone and 13.5% Iso Gamma making it stronger in scent and power. Timbersilk is also boosted with 0.07% of AmberXtreme. The near mythical captive "Iso G Super" of Molecule 1 fame has 8.5% Arborone and 13.5% Iso Gamma.
Timbersilk holds its own against stronger materials and is less inclined to be lost in the mix. It can replace Iso E Super in all areas and can work very well in a modified type of Grojsman accord.

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.
