Usage

Description

CASHMERAN is a synthetic musk fragrance compound, specifically a polycyclic musk, that is commonly used in the personal care industry. It is not found in nature and is characterized by its pale yellow color and long-lasting diffusive, conifer-like musk odor. CASHMERAN is produced through a process that starts with the corresponding pentamethyltetrahydroindane, which is then treated with oxygen in the presence of cobalt naphthenate. It is often used in fine fragrances, particularly in combination with noble wood notes.

Uses

Used in Personal Care Industry:
CASHMERAN is used as a fragrance ingredient in the personal care industry for its long-lasting and diffusive conifer-like musk odor. It is valued for its ability to enhance the overall scent profile of various products, such as perfumes, lotions, and shampoos.
Used in Environmental and Human Body Studies:
As a synthetic musk fragrance compound, CASHMERAN can be found in the environment and the human body, making it a subject of interest for environmental and health studies. Researchers may use CASHMERAN as an impurity of Donepezil or in other related studies to better understand its presence, effects, and potential impact on ecosystems and human health.
Used in Fine Fragrance Industry:
CASHMERAN is used as a key component in the creation of fine fragrances, where it is often combined with noble wood notes to create a unique and appealing scent. Its long-lasting and diffusive properties make it a valuable addition to high-quality perfumes and colognes, contributing to their overall appeal and longevity.
