ROMANDOLIDE®

Musky, Powdery, Earthy-Mossy

ROMANDOLIDE® is a very delicate musky note. Less fruity and Ambrette than HELVETOLIDE®, with more tenacity and volume on the dry down.

With its soft and delicate balsamic facets, ROMANDOLIDE® is reminiscent of the typical note of some polycyclic musk without belonging to that chemical family.

Being part of the Alicyclic Musk family, it remains like a top note musk.

dsm-firmenich uses the upcycled Turpentine extracted from the paper industry, often those that use softwood to manufacture cardboard. Derived originally from softwoods, this turpentine is valorized through a fractionation process in which we retrieve alpha and beta pinene, the two main molecules obtained from fractionated turpentine.

Chemical synthesis corresponds to the construction of complex chemical compounds from simpler ones.
Our R&D follows the principles of Green chemistry whenever possible.

From a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1939, dsm-firmenich has been dedicated to Musk for over 90 years. These years of dedication and persistence have resulted in dsm-firmenich becoming the pioneer in this field and globally recognized as the House of Musk.
