Chemistry & Uses

Uses in perfumery :

Kephalis® is used in woody, ambery, masculine fragrances, leather, suede, spicy and floral notes. Gives a leather and woody appearance from the head to the base.

Year of discovery :

Data not available.

Natural availability :

Kephalis® is not available in its natural state.

Isomerism :

Kephalis® does not have any isomer used in perfumery.

Synthesis precursor :

Kephalis® is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.

Synthesis route :

Kephalis® is one of two compounds synthesized by a cyclodimerization reaction of mesityl oxide (or 4-methylpent-3-en-2-one), in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate, by reaction with ethyl orthoformate. The other compound formed during this reaction has no olfactory interest.

Stability :

Unstable in acidic products, except fabric conditioners, and in very alkaline detergents.

Other comments :

In comparision to other woody-ambergris notes also having a violet flower undernote, Iso E Super® is more reminiscent of Cedarwood Virginia EO than Vetiver Haiti EO, in the case of Kephalis®.
