The scent of Iso E Super is woody, amber, and crystalline with hints of violet. Highly prized by perfumers, Iso E Super was discovered in 1973 in the IFF laboratories. Today, it is the second most widely used synthetic compound in perfumery. Its woody, velvety, and sensual scent sparked considerable curiosity upon its discovery. This enigmatic ingredient has given rise to numerous rumors; some believe it possesses pheromonic qualities that enhance the body's unique scent and significantly improve the sillage of other perfumes. Iso E Super gained popularity in 1988 when it was used in Dior's iconic Fahrenheit. It is a professional product.
The advantage of Iso E Super is its extreme versatility. You'll find it in all types of perfumes, although primarily in woody, floral, and musky accords. Besides being a versatile compound, it also acts as a fixative, accentuating the top notes.

Additional information
The raw materials offered here are solutions diluted in DPG (dipropylene glycol) , specially designed for olfactory discovery. They are not intended for creating ready-made perfumes at home, but primarily for educational use: allowing users to smell, in isolation, the note hidden at the heart of certain compositions and to understand how it behaves on a blotter or on the skin.
By exploring these raw materials, you go behind the scenes of perfume formulation: how a woody, amber, floral, or musky note shapes an accord, how it evolves over time, and how it transforms the perception of a finished fragrance. This direct access to the perfumer's "toolbox" allows you to refine your sense of smell, put words to what you love, and approach your everyday perfumes with a more discerning eye.
The House of Perfume also occasionally organizes workshops dedicated to raw materials , led in collaboration with a perfumer. These sessions, both technical and informal, offer an opportunity to discuss materials, formulas, and the creative process, step by step. If you are interested in this type of workshop, please contact us using the contact form : we will inform you of upcoming sessions and how to participate.
