Pell Wall: Description and usage notes:
Very useful as an alternative to heliotropine, which although widely used in perfumery is difficult for the amateur and small-scale perfumer to buy, being nearly unobtainable ...
The odour is more floral and less powdery than heliotropine with less of the cherry-note so it should be used in combination with other substitutes such as acetanisole.
The product offered here is manufactured by synarome who describe the odour as “ambery-balsamic, anis, floral” not quite as powerful, so more will be needed to adequately substitute for heliotropine in a formula, but also not to be underestimated as a beautiful floral material in its own right. comes as a mobile liquid.
