Indole

Product Information:

Indole needs no introduction. It contains naphthalene (like moth repellent), is unpleasant, extremely strong, and indispensable for most white flower accords, especially jasmine. When used in small amounts, it creates a very natural effect; we see this in Edmund Roudnitska's original Eau Sauvage (1966), where it was very cleverly used at only 0.1%.

Indole is sold as a powder and can be added directly to the fragrance composition. 

Indole presents a fascinating olfactory paradox; while at high concentrations it has an intensely fecal and mothball-like (like moth repellent) odor, when extremely diluted it transforms into bright, narcotic floral notes reminiscent of jasmine and orange blossom.

It is indispensable in recreating authentic white floral scents; it adds a narcotic depth, warmth, and sensuality to compositions, while enhancing sillage and radiance.
