Note Profile
About
Fantasy clean-textile accord. Clean musk, powder, and a just-ironed crispness.
Scent Profile
Clean_musk is the whole spine of the note, and the source names the three musks that build it. Powdery carries the 'musky-powdery quality' that the same page says deepens through the wear. Aldehydic is the 'faint crispness from aldehydes like a just-ironed collar'. Creamy_woody is Cashmeran, described as 'cashmere-like warmth and wool-adjacent softness', and it is the facet that most separates fabric from the neighbouring clean-textile notes. Below the naming line, lactonic sits for the methyl-laitone starch, aquatic_ozonic and green because the source defines fabric by subtraction - 'less green than linen, less ozonic than laundry' - which lowers those facets without zeroing them.

Read off the wheel, not a label applied to the note.
Origin
No natural referent at all. Première Peau is plain about it: 'entirely compounded accord. No natural textile extract is used in perfumery.' The accord is named material by material: clean musks (Galaxolide, Habanolide, Helvetolide) for the laundry-fresh baseline, Cashmeran for cashmere-like warmth, aldehyde traces for the just-ironed quality, and methyl laitone or a similar lactone for starchy-cotton dryness.
Usage in Perfumery
Base note by the source's own label, with medium odour strength. It is an atmospheric note, used to create closeness without any single ingredient being identifiable, and is central to the clean-fragrance category and to skin-scent compositions. It pairs with skin musks, white florals at low doses and transparent woody notes. Attested in 25 Fragrantica perfumes and 1 Parfumo entry.
