Tonolide

Tonalide is a synthetic, polycyclic musk compound used in fragrances and personal care products to provide a warm, sweet, and powdery musk scent, acting as a fixative to enhance longevity and diffusion. It is valued for its smooth, creamy aroma that complements other scent profiles like florals, woods, and vanillas, making it a versatile base note in fine perfumes, lotions, soaps, and even laundry detergents.
