Profile
📂 CAS N° 2109-22-0
⚖️ MW — 140.22 g/mol
📝 Odor Type: Fresh
📈 Odor Strength — High impact on top, Medium tenacity, 5hrs, pure.
👃🏼 Odor Profile — Pollenal starts with a very intense and diffusive fresh menthol \ cineol (eucalyptol) note, the Yellow pollen part comes straight. The first thing I link to it is Allyl amyl glycolate (AAG), they share the same “daisy flower” effect. Pollenal has a dirty (powdery) undertone which (reminds me of manzanate) turns into an aggressive green note. The overall note is fresh, heady and camphor-like too. IN 40 min the note becomes fruity fig, and that's very clear.
👅 Flavor Profile — N\A
⚗️ Uses — Pollenal II is used in various compounds such as citrus, floral and fresh natural fragrances. A very powerful and natural fresh green note reminiscent of pollen. It also has a natural fruity undertone. Pollenal combines well with patchouli to give a floral sweetness to the note.
