About
A tricyclic saturated ketone used for camphoraceous-woody notes. Saturated structure limits reactivity; public cosmetic data is limited.
Tricyclodecane-8-one (CAS 13380-94-4) is a tricyclodecane-derived saturated ketone used as a specialty perfumery material, contributing camphoraceous, woody, and resinous notes. The fully saturated carbon skeleton and simple ketone functionality give it limited protein-reactivity. Public CIR/SCCS-specific data is limited; RIFM/IFRA provide industry coverage. Conservative upper-yellow placement reflects acceptable structural chemistry with thin public documentation.
