Leather Materials

Raw materials and bases for building leather and suede accords in perfumery.

Leather is generally a constructed accord: it can be dry, green, smoky, tobacco-like, animalic, ambered or soft like suede. Materials such as ISO BUTYL QUINOLINE create a highly characteristic green-leather direction, while SUEDERAL LT works toward a softer suede effect.

Many leather materials are powerful and change considerably with dosage. Product pages include olfactory profile, function and available technical data.
