DL-Muscone, CAS No. 541-91-3, chemically known as (R)-3-methylcyclopentadecan-1-one and commercially recognized as L-Muscone or Muscone Laevo, is a premium synthetic macrocyclic musk fragrance ingredient characterized by a soft, sweet, and warm animalic musk odor with elegant powdery qualities. This refined profile makes it a valuable building block for sophisticated musk and skin-like fragrance development.

DL-Muscone, CAS No. 541-91-3

From an olfactory perspective, DL-Muscone offers a very soft, sweet musky core enriched by warm animalic tonalities and subtle fatty-fruity nuances. The resulting "sweet musk + animalic + powdery floral" structure provides both lasting depth and a luminous, skin-like quality, ideal for modern, elegant fragrance structures and a key ingredient for building contemporary musk compositions.


In fine fragrance, DL-Muscone is commonly used in musk, powdery floral, woody, amber, and oriental accords. It enhances diffusion, longevity, and overall roundness while blending well with woody, amber, and other floral materials to create more three-dimensional and sophisticated fragrance structures.


Beyond perfumery, DL-Muscone is suitable for functional fragrance applications, including personal care, hair care, soaps, detergents, fabric softeners, air fresheners, scented candles, and home fragrance products. Its soft musky character combined with warm animalic and powdery floral nuances contributes to a clean, comfortable, and long-lasting sensory impression in everyday consumer products.


ODOWELL continues to focus on aroma ingredients with clear olfactory identity and practical formulation value. With its sweet musk, floral, woody, soapy, and animalic profile, excellent diffusion, and exceptional 336-hour substantivity, DL-Muscone is a useful ingredient for modern fine fragrance, personal care, and home care fragrance development.
