Original designation: Scatol à 50 % dans la TEA

One of perfumery's great transformations: fiercely animalic in concentration, yet at extreme dilution capable of making jasmine, tuberose and orange blossom feel bodily and alive.

Skatole 50% in TEA

Olfactive character

Base note

In perfumery vocabulary, Skatole 50% in TEA is associated with jasmine-like in dilution, warm sweet, fruity in traces, animalic, mothball-like and faecal when concentrated. Its creative role is a deep base-note material with architectural presence, giving structure and character to complex accords.

At the perfumer’s organ

In the organ, use it to build indolic white-floral realism, enrich animalic jasmine and tuberose and introduce trace warmth in leather and narcotic bouquets. As base note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.

  • indolic white-floral realism
  • animalic jasmine and tuberose
  • trace warmth in leather and narcotic bouquets

Extraction & expression

Aroma chemicals are the precision instruments of the organ. Their value is structural as much as olfactive: they can sharpen an outline, create space, bridge naturals or sustain an effect with repeatable clarity. The recorded TEA carrier identifies a prepared dilution rather than the neat material.
