TERRASOL ® FCC
what is TERRASOL?
Synthetic Ingredient For Perfumery Overview
Terrasol is one of the ingredients that most left me speechless, as soon as the cap was unscrewed the room was filled with the scent of wet earth.
A truly unique smell with an incredible olfactory fidelity (to the wet earth after a light rain).

PROFILE
📂 CAS N° — 18368-91-7
⚖️ MW — 182.30
📝 Odor Type — Earthy
📈 Odor Strength — Medium (48hrs on blotter)
👃🏼 Odor Profile — Earthy, humid, rain-y, patchouli-like, wet, soil, forest somewhat fresh piney.
Official description for BRI: A powerful earthy, ambergris odor with patchouli and oakmoss top notes.
⚗️ Use — I would recommend Terrasol in formulation of earthy notes, some rain accords and to support \ push some facets of Patchouli and Vetiver.
Has incredible strength. A great choice for heavy oud and oriental types. Can add richness and lift to floral and green notes, particularly in fine fragrance, but is suitable for applications involving aggressive bases, such as bleach, where stability is needed [BRI].
“The odor profile lists and ambergris smell but I personally don’t think it is relevant when using this ingredient. You want to use terrasol for its extremely diffusive rainy, earthy patchouli nuance. ”
