Collection: Skatole Fragrances

The perfume note of Skatole, a compound found in many flowers and also in certain animal feces, presents an intriguing, complex aroma that plays an important role in the structure of certain fragrances. In very small amounts, it exudes a sweet, floral scent reminiscent of night-blooming jasmine, providing a scent that is both intoxicating and inviting. However, in larger concentrations, skatole can have a strong, almost unpleasantly pungent aroma. This initial sweetness or pungency is often balanced in perfumery with other notes, helping to create an intricately layered scent. Skatole brings to fragrances a sense of depth and can enhance other floral notes, offering an intriguing duality that showcases the complex art of perfume making.
