EXALTONE

Exaltone is a macrocyclic musk molecule renowned for its refined, animalic softness and exceptional tenacity. Its scent is warm, velvety, and subtly sensual, with a natural, skin-like quality that recalls ambrette seed. Often used in high-end fine fragrances, Exaltone imparts a luxurious, musky depth that enhances floral, amber, and woody notes. It provides a quiet but long-lasting sensuality—a modern echo of natural musk’s intimacy.

History & Production: Exaltone (a cyclopentadecanone derivative) was developed as part of the macrocyclic musk family to offer long-lasting, skin-like musky effects. It is synthesized in specialized labs under carefully controlled conditions to optimize diffusion and compatibility. In perfumery, Exaltone is valued for its ability to enhance longevity and mellow transitions between the top, heart, and base layers.
