Origin

Iso E Super is a synthetic aroma compound first developed by International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) in the late 1970s. It is produced via organic synthesis, primarily from methylated phenols and aldehydes, rather than being derived from natural sources.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use Iso E Super mainly as a heart or base note to impart volume, texture, and longevity to compositions. It blends well with woody, floral, and musky notes, and is often used to enhance the diffusion and complexity of both masculine and unisex fragrances.
