Iso E Super: A Very Popular Synthetic
By: Elena Vosnaki
Iso E Super® is the trademark name of aromachemical 7-acetyl, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8octahydro-1,1,6,7-tetramethyl naphthalene and you can easily guess why the short
code-name was invented for use instead of its long organic chemistry name.
According
to International Fragrances and Flavors, who produce and patented Iso E Super, it
smells:
"Smooth, woody, amber with unique aspects giving a velvet like sensation.
Used
to impart fullness and subtle strength to fragrances.
Superb floralizer found in the

Richer in the desirable
gamma isomer than isocyclemone e.
"—IFF
