EcoIngredient Compass®
Patchouli
Created from white biotechnology, CLEARWOOD® delivers all the rewards of modern ingredient design.
Beaming with light, it offers the creamy warmth of amber and a dark woody character reminiscent of patchouli.
CLEARWOOD® PRISMA is a concentrated version of CLEARWOOD® offering an even more intense woody-patchouli character with enhanced oakmoss and ambery facets.
Launched in 2014 and first ever White Biotech Ingredient within the perfumery industry, CLEARWOOD® is a truly inspiring ingredient made possible by the genius of science, and rendered unforgettable by the perfumers' intuition.
CLEARWOOD® PRISMA contains at least 90% of patchoulol. More delicate and feminine, it blends particularly well with floral bouquets.
It is diluted in 50% HEDIONE® FAB (BHT free) for practical reasons.
Our extensive expertise in biotechnology enables us to use sustainable sugar fermentation, bio-conversion techniques, and advanced distillation to create high-quality sustainable ingredients from renewable carbon.
The dsm-firmenich woody family originated in 1972 with the discovery of the captive ingredient Polywood® and in 1986 with the launch of Norlimbanol®, two groundbreaking molecules that set the standard for powerful, long-lasting woody and ambery notes. These innovations laid the foundation for a series of advancements, introducing sustainable and high-performance alternatives to traditional woody ingredients like patchouli and sandalwood.
CLEARWOOD® is produced from a certified sustainably sourced sugarcane.
Patchouli has historically been a material of choice for the Prisma technology.
With CLEARWOOD® from Biotechnology, we enter a new dimension.
