What is OXALOR?
OXALOR is a ready-to-use synthetic base, formulated by combining selected amber-enhancing molecules, dry woody materials, and low-volatility fixatives. Unlike raw ingredients or accords, a base is a finished olfactory module, engineered for consistency and multi-role functionality within fragrance compositions.
OXALOR is not a single molecule, but a curated blend of compatible aroma chemicals designed to:
- Anchor volatile materials 
- Extend the drydown 
- Provide depth and structure in the base note 
- Complement top and heart phases with smooth transitions 
Olfactory Profile & Perfumery Applications
👃🏼 Scent Description: Warm, diffusive amber with subtle woody dryness. The initial impression is soft and enveloping, drying down to a stable, resinous-woody base with light musky tonality. No harsh or animalic aspects.
⚗️ Functional Roles:
- Fixative base in long-wear compositions 
- Enhancer of amber, resin, and woody accords 
- Structural component for fine fragrance and functional scenting 
- Bridge between top, heart, and base notes (especially in floral-oriental and chypre constructions) 
🧴 Recommended for:
- Amber-forward fragrances 
- Woody-musky compositions 
- Complex blends requiring diffusion control 
- Masculine, unisex, and warm feminine profiles 
- Base construction in orientals, ambers, fougères, and modern chypres 
Understanding Perfumery Bases
A base in perfumery is a pre-balanced blend of materials designed to represent a single olfactory function or theme. Bases differ from accords in that they are ready-made functional units, created for stability, simplicity, and repeatability across formulations. OXALOR exemplifies this approach by offering:
- Defined olfactory character (amber-woody) 
- Built-in tenacity and diffusion control 
- Ease of use for both fine and applied fragrance products 
For a detailed differentiation, refer to Scentspiracy’s article: Accord or Base?
Fixative Performance
As detailed in Fixatives in Perfumery, fixatives slow evaporation of volatile compounds and stabilize fragrance structure. OXALOR performs this role by:
- Retaining aromatic brightness in the top phase 
- Controlling volatility and amplitude in the heart 
- Supporting the base with long-wear characteristics 
Its fixative effect is non-invasive, allowing it to enhance both subtle and bold formulas without overpowering.
✅ Safe for professional perfumery use across fine fragrance and cosmetic applications within regulatory thresholds.
