Scent & character
Cetalox is a dsm-firmenich amber ingredient with a woody character, supplied as a crystalline solid in the cited manufacturer record. That record uses CAS 3738-00-9. Keep it separate from the Ambroxan reference in this library, which has a different recorded identity.
STUDY PROMPT
Write separate observations for Cetalox and Ambroxan at recorded evaluation dilutions. Return at the same intervals and compare the woody and amber impressions. Keep an unchanged control when trying either in a formula.
Materials to compare
Use these as starting points for separate blotter comparisons and small, documented studies. A pairing is a question to explore, not a finished formula.

Search aliases: Cetalox.
CAS reference: 3738-00-9. This identifies the reference chemical, not the composition or strength of every supplier product.
Record the exact material
Record the exact supplier product, grade, batch, and stock strength. Materials with similar names can have different composition and performance. Read the supplier documentation for your actual material before handling or using it.
Note placement describes a useful study role, not a precise evaporation clock. Dilution, the surrounding formula, and your own perception affect what you notice.
