Exaltolide Total is a large-ring musk with a clean, elegant, long-lasting “skin-scent” character. Its smooth, slightly creamy tone with a hint of pear rounds off rough edges and adds a soft, comforting warmth from the very first drydown. In amber–woody bases it delivers polish and finesse; in fresh musky formulas it evokes modern simplicity-clean fabric, clean skin.

As a musk backbone, it diffuses gently yet clings well to skin and fibers, extending floral, fruity, tea, and aldehydic notes. It blends beautifully with Hedione, Iso E Super, Ambroxan, Cashmeran, and Calone, as well as white florals like jasmine, tuberose, and neroli; it also harmonizes with rose, violet/ionones, and fruits such as pear, green apple, and apricot for a refined “juicy-musky” effect.

It is widely applicable in fine fragrance, fabric mists, shower gels, shampoos, and detergents thanks to its stability and easy-to-love cleanliness. At low levels it lends a translucent musk aura to modern colognes; in eau de parfum it adds soft coverage and a gentle, cocooning feel, enhancing wearability in hot and humid climates.

Suggested use levels: 0.1–0.5% for a subtle musk “breath”; 1–2% for a stable musk foundation in most formulas; up to 5% in musk bases or fabric-care systems requiring high substantivity. The material can be semi-solid around room temperature due to its melting point; warm gently for accurate weighing before compounding. If you need a soft, clean, unobtrusive musk that elevates overall finish, Exaltolide Total is a reliable choice for both minimalist and complex compositions.
