Iso E Super (IFF)
Iso E Super (IFF Original) — Woody Amber Aromatic Molecule
Iso E Super, produced by IFF (International Flavors & Fragrances), is the most popular woody synthetic molecule in perfumery today. It is known for its soft, woody-amber aroma, cedar-like facets, velvety texture, and transparent warmth that enriches a composition without dominating it. Hammeyd stocks original IFF Iso E Super in Turkey.
Its relation to Molecule 01: Escentric Molecules' famous Molecule 01 perfume is actually built around Iso G Super (an IFF-exclusive, not commercially available variant), which is a higher isomer version of Iso E Super. Iso E Super is the closest commercially available equivalent to Iso G Super and is an ideal material for creating Molecule 01-style "skin scent" compositions.
Product Information:
Iso E Super offers a soft, woody-ambery aroma with cedar-like facets, a characteristic velvety texture, and a transparent warmth that enhances compositions rather than dominating them.
It is indispensable for adding radiance, texture, and longevity to fragrances; it blends across woody, floral, oriental, and chypre compositions.
