ISO E Super (IFF) is a high-purity synthetic aroma chemical known for its smooth, woody-amber profile and exceptional versatility. One of the most widely used ingredients in perfumery, it acts as a fragrance booster, improving diffusion, clarity, and overall longevity of the perfume.
Its aroma is described as transparent, woody, cedar-like with a velvety warmth that creates a "skin-scent" effect — making perfumes feel soft, elegant, and modern.
