The gap was in the LOOKUP, not the catalogue: we store this molecule under its systematic or registry name, the edge was authored against the trade name, and nothing matched.

Romandolide is a synthetic musk, chemically classified as a macrocyclic musk. It is produced through industrial organic synthesis and does not occur in nature. This ingredient was developed to provide a modern, non-animalic musk note for perfumery.
Usage in Perfumery
Perfumers use Romandolide primarily as a base note to impart long-lasting softness and diffusion. It blends well with florals, woods, and citrus notes, enhancing overall smoothness and radiance in both feminine and masculine fragrances. Its clean profile makes it suitable for modern, minimalist scent compositions.
