Fraterworks: Dimethyl sulfide (also known as dimethyl sulphide in british english) is an incredibly intense and volatile chemical smelling mainly of creamed corn. despite the food connotations it is not deemed pleasant to most people owing to the nuances of sulphur it also bears (it should be noted, however, that it should not smell of rotting cabbage — that indicates a low quality or degraded material).
Dimethyl sulfide is absolutely amazing at adding naturalness to fruit and floral notes, particularly rose, where the merest trace is perceptible. consequently great care should be taken in the use of this product and we highly recommend diluting it further to 0.1% or even 0.01%.
But the area in which this material truly excels is in recreations of the scent of the seaside. this is because dimethyl sulfide is the main chemical involved in the actual scent of the sea as it is released naturally in large amounts by phytoplankton.
Due to the volatility of dimethyl sulphide, we recommend storing it in the refrigerator as it has a tendency to evaporate right out of the bottle when left at room temperature.
Dimethyl Sulphide, Neat
Pell Wall Perfumes: Cabbage, sulphurous, onion, creamy. very powerful and diffusive
Can be used in perfumes only in the most extreme dilution to add realism to gourmand (particularly coffee, chocolate and similar), fruity and certain flower perfumes, particularly rose. can also be used as part of an authentic sea-breeze accord as this material has been shown to be the actual source of the smell of the sea, commonly described as ozone’.
Dimethyl Sulphide 0.1% In TEC
Pell Wall Perfumes: Cabbage, sulphurous, onion, creamy. very powerful and diffusive
Can be used in perfumes only in the most extreme dilution to add realism to gourmand (particularly coffee, chocolate and similar), fruity and certain flower perfumes, particularly rose.
Dimethyl Sulphide: Natural Isolate
Pell Wall Perfumes: Cabbage, sulphurous, onion, creamy. very powerful and diffusive
Don’t underestimate the power of this material: even small amounts can leave your perfume smelling of little more than boiled cabbage and raw onions, while a tiny amount can add creamy-warmth and diffusion.
Dimethyl Sulphide At 0.1% In Ethanol
Pell Wall Perfumes: Cabbage, sulphurous, onion, creamy
Arctander describes the smell like this: “extremely diffusive, repulsive odor, reminiscent of wild radish, sharp, green, cabbage-like. only in very high dilution it becomes bearable and almost acceptable, pleasant, vegetable-like.”
