EXALTOLIDE® Substitutes & Alternatives

musky sweet powdery fruity woody animalic skin warm

Exaltolide Total presents an extremely fine, elegant musk with powdery softness, subtle sweet-fruity nuances, and a sophisticated clean-animalic duality that evokes sensual skin warmth without challenging facets.

Same material — different names

These share the same CAS number (106-02-5) — the same core molecule sold under different trade names. They're close to interchangeable, but purity and isomer ratio can cause subtle differences in strength and character, so treat them as near-identical rather than exactly the same.
