Description and usage notes: An exceptionally useful modern, spicy-leathery material of great versatility. Description from Givaudan: “Safraleine has a very unique warm and vibrant character offering a new alternative to existing spicy odorants. Safraleine exhibits warm, powerful, leathery and tobacco facets but its complexity also reveals characteristics of spices reminiscent of natural saffron, enriched by rose ketone-like floral aspects.” In 2003, Arcadi Boix Camps said of this material: “Here Givaudan discovered a great master chemical imparting subtleness, delicacy, refinement, intricacy, velvetiness and great class wherever it is used. ... The accords of Safraleine are simply unique with tobacco chemicals like Tabanone or tetramethyl naphtalenone, with the rose ketones ... Safraleine can be twisted towards spiciness or floral woody accords but also toward aquatic effects ...”  This product is included in the following Perfume Making Kits:  100 Essential Aroma Chemicals Kit Three ;  the Aroma Chemicals Discovery Kit and also in the Blending Kit.
