Processing Methods & Reference Formulations
A. Perfume
Pre-dilute in a solvent to improve blending and control intensity. Pair with oriental, woody, or gourmand notes like vanilla, clove, or amber to create warm, rich accords. Use at low levels as it has a very strong, spicy-cinnamon scent and can easily overpower a blend.
| Key Ingredients | Indicative Dosage (% w/w) |
|---|---|
| Cinnamic Aldehyde | 0.01% |
| Eugenol | 1% |
| Iso Eugenol | 0.5% |
| Coumarin | 1.5% |
| Benzyl Salicylate | 5% |
| Linalool | 5% |
| Linalyl Acetate | 4% |
| Benzyl Acetate | 3% |
| Geraniol | 2% |
| Hydroxycitronellal | 3% |
| Citronellol | 3% |
| Phenylethyl Alcohol | 8% |
| Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde | 10% |
| Vanillin | 1.5% |
| Methyl Dihydrojasmonate (Hedione) | 6% |
| Iso E Super | 10% |
| Galaxolide 50% | 12% |
| Ambroxan | 4% |
| Patchouli Oil | 5% |
| Sandalore | 5% |
| Cashmeran | 3% |
| Fixative blend (e.g., DPG, TEC) | ~10% |
B. Shampoo
Use at low levels as it is highly potent and can be irritating at higher concentrations. Add during the cool-down phase, to preserve its fragrance and avoid volatility loss. Pre-mix with a solubilizer for proper dispersion in the water-based shampoo.
| Key Ingredients | Indicative Dosage (% w/w) |
|---|---|
| Sodium laureth sulfate | 20% |
| Sodium lauroamphoacetate | 5% |
| Cocoamphodiacetate | 3% |
| Soybean oil | 2% |
| Citric acid | 1.5% |
| Fragrance blend (contains cinnamic aldehyde) | 0.5% |
| Water | 68% |
C. Detergents
Use at low levels, as it has a strong spicy scent and potential for skin irritation in higher doses. Add during the final mixing stage, after cooling, to preserve its fragrance and prevent volatilization. Ensure pH compatibility, as high-pH detergents may cause degradation.
| Key Ingredients | Indicative Dosage (% w/w) |
|---|---|
| Sodium C12–C14 linear alkylbenzene sulfonate | 18% |
| Alcohol ethoxylate (non-ionic surfactant) | 8% |
| Sodium carbonate | 5% |
| Zeolite or citrate builder | 5% |
| Enzyme blend (protease/amylase) | 0.5% |
| Polycarboxylate polymer | 1% |
| Perfume composition (includes cinnamic aldehyde) | 1% |
| Optical brightener | 0.2% |
| Preservative (e.g., benzisothiazolinone) | 0.2% |
| Sodium citrate | 1% |
| Water | 60% |
D. Cosmetic cream
Use at very low levels, as it is a strong fragrance and known skin sensitizer. Add during the cool-down phase, to protect its aroma and prevent degradation. Pre-dilute in a suitable carrier (e.g., caprylic/capric triglyceride or fragrance oil) to ensure even distribution in the cream base.
| Key Ingredients | Indicative Dosage (% w/w) |
|---|---|
| Water | ~70% |
| Glycerin | 5% |
| Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride | 4% |
| Cetearyl Alcohol | 3% |
| Glyceryl Stearate | 2.5% |
| Dimethicone | 1% |
| Phenoxyethanol | 0.8% |
| Ethylhexylglycerin | 0.2% |
| Carbomer | 0.3% |
| Triethanolamine | 0.2% |
| Tocopherol | 0.2% |
| Cinnamic Aldehyde | 0.01% |
| Fragrance blend | 0.5% |
| Panthenol | 0.5% |
| Disodium EDTA | 0.1% |
