Experience the tenacious aroma of Ganolid®

If you are looking for a musky aroma ingredient that comes with a raft of other preferable characteristics, Ganolid^® is well worthy of consideration.

Ganolid^® is a warming ingredient with a tenacious scent and excellent properties as both a fixative and in terms of diffusivity.

This all adds up to a fragrance ingredient that lasts, and one that will make your finished scent last for longer too.

With a minimum melting point of over 52C, Ganolid^® is stable under a wide range of everyday conditions, yet still relatively easy to work with during manufacture and production.

Its fine flake texture means it is easy to handle and precise quantities can be measured very cleanly.

What is Ganolid^®?

Ganolid^® is a polycyclic musk fragrance ingredient produced by Agan Aroma and available to order from Zanos.

The ingredient goes by several other names on the wider market, including Ganolide^®, Fixolide^®, Tetralide^®, Tonalid^®, and the acronym AHTN short for the chemical name Hexamethyltetraline.

This last name is in reference to its chemical structure as an acetyl hexamethyltetraline with empirical formula C18 H26 O.

It is just one of a range of Agan Aroma flavour and fragrance ingredients available from Zanos, bringing the producer’s commitment to quality products and processes to fragrance manufacturers.

Why musk matters

Musk is a perennially popular category of aroma ingredients and it remains as relevant to the modern market as it has always been.

In the case of Ganolid^®, this includes good fixative and diffusive properties, helping to sustain the scent for longer and permeate in the air.

It is particularly associated with men’s aftershaves and women’s perfumes, where it adds depth and warmth to the overall scent profile.  Its diffusive nature means that it has extensive uses particularly found in laundry care products.

How to store Ganolid^®

Ganolid^® is supplied as a 50kg drum of fine flakes with a white to off-white colour and is polyethylene lined to help protect against moisture ingress.

Storage of Ganolid^® is relatively easy – just store away from other products as it absorbs background odours.

The polyethylene lined drum is naturally a good option for long-term storage, making it easier to keep your Ganolid^® under the correct conditions immediately from delivery.
