Cashmeran
(CAS No. 33704-61-9) is a premium modern woody-musky aroma chemical widely used in fine fragrances, attars, perfumes, agarbatti, dhoop, bakhoor, room fragrances and professional fragrance compounds. It provides a distinctive warm, spicy, musky and slightly amber-woody character with excellent depth and long-lasting dry-down.
Cashmeran is especially valued for adding warmth, body, texture and diffusion to fragrance compositions. Its unique woody-musky profile can make a perfume or incense accord feel richer, smoother and more sophisticated. It works particularly well in modern woody, amber, musk, oriental, sandalwood and warm floral compositions.

Cashmeran in Agarbatti & Dhoop
Cashmeran can be particularly useful in modern incense fragrances because its woody-musky character survives into the dry-down and can complement materials such as:
- Iso E Super
- Ambroxan
- Galaxolide
- Hedione
- Cedarwood materials
- Patchouli
- Vetiver
- Sandalwood accords
- Musk materials
- Amber materials
- Vanillin
For agarbatti, it is generally better treated as a character/base modifier rather than the only diffusion material. Excessive dosage can make a composition overly dense, spicy, woody or musky.
Example Starting Range
For a fragrance compound, a practical development range can be approximately:
0.5–8% depending on the desired effect and the rest of the formula.
For an incense-oriented compound, start with a small trial level, evaluate both cold throw and burn, and then increase gradually.
Final dosage should be determined from the supplier’s specification, application requirements and applicable fragrance safety/IFRA limits.
Profile: Warm woody + soft musk + amber + dry woody diffusion.
This is a development accord, not a regulatory/commercial finished-perfume formula. Adjust the composition according to the intended application and required compliance limits.
