Okoumal Substitutes & Alternatives

woody ambery warm musky tobacco

Okoumal™ brings an attractive and elegant woody-ambery effect. It gives significant volume, richness and warmth to fragrance compositions and combines well with cedar derivatives, patchouli oil and sandalwood products like Ebanol™. With its low vapour pressure and high MW, Okoumal™ is a heart note and is extremely long lasting and substantive on every support as well as stable in major applications.

Same material — different names

These share the same CAS number (131812-67-4) — 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.
