Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes

Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes (CAS 54464-57-2) is one of the fragrance allergens the European Union requires to be named on a label once it passes a threshold. It is rarely something you added on purpose: 24 materials in this catalog carry it as a constituent, which is how a formula ends up over the line without a single line item admitting to it.

What Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes smells like

dsm-firmenich's own OTNE article, made by green synthesis with more than half renewable carbon. Suppliers describe a woody, velvety amber note that gives fullness and strength to any fragrance: a smooth delicate cedarwood with ambery, powdery and violet undertones. It holds about a week on a smelling strip. Reseller copy and user reports call it deeper and more bottom-heavy than Iso E Super, so it is used as a base volumiser and fixative rather than for the airy woody lift.

It is a material in its own right, not only a line on a label: its catalog page carries the full profile.

Estimates from typical published compositions, not a certificate of analysis for your bottle. A supplier's own figures always win.

PerfuMate totals these across a whole formula while you compose, counting the same molecule arriving from several materials at once, and writes the declaration for the back of the bottle. Start a formula, free. No account needed.
