8-TERT-BUTYLQUINOLINE.

Optional CAS 67634-06-4 / PERFUMING

A synthetic aromatic compound primarily utilized as a fragrance ingredient and fixative in cosmetic formulations. This quinoline derivative delivers distinctive leathery, mossy, and earthy olfactory notes while extending the longevity of volatile fragrance components. Unlike active skincare ingredients, it does not provide documented physiological benefits to skin structure or function.
