Origin

Edenolide is a synthetic musk made by IFF, CAS 478695-70-4. It is not found in nature. Applelide, the earlier IFF grade, shares its CAS number. Edenolide is an enriched isomer form of it, which suppliers describe as softer, richer and more diffusive. Brands print both names.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use it for its smell and as a fixative. It gives a sheer, powdery musk to feminine and masculine fragrances, and its fruity side suits fruity and floral accords that need a musky background.
