Indole (10% in DPG) is a pre-diluted form of one of the most powerful floral aroma chemicals in perfumery. At low doses, Indole adds animalic, narcotic, and jasmine-like warmth to floral perfumes, especially jasmine, tuberose, orange blossom, and ylang-ylang accords. This 10% dilution in DPG (Dipropylene Glycol) allows for precise use in attars, mists, incense, and deep floral blends.

While Indole has a strong fecal-animalic smell in its raw form, in tiny concentrations it transforms florals, making them lush, sensual, and more realistic. It’s an essential tool in white florals, vintage perfumes, musk-floral blends, and even oud-based compositions.

Use 0.2–1.5% of this blend to enhance white floral and animalic bases. Blend with Musk Ketone for warmth and persistence, Coumarin for sweet complexity, or Ethyl Vanillin to soften the base with a creamy sweetness.

💡 To build a narcotic jasmine or tuberose accord 🌼, use 0.2–1.5% Indole (10% in DPG) in floral attars or vintage-style perfumes.

🌹 Pair with Musk Ketone for a long-lasting soft floral-animalic drydown.
