Atelier Formulation Brief & Maceration Ledger

Atelier Formulation Brief
Fine fragrances formulated at 15% to 30% aromatic concentrate must declare linalool, limonene, and eugenol above 0.001% under EU Regulation 2023/1545 while keeping Category 4 eugenol at or below 0.50% per the IFRA 51st Amendment. Cold vat maceration at 12 C balances top-note vapor pressure against long-chain base fixation.

Formulation & Compliance Questions

How long does Extrait de Parfum last compared to Eau de Parfum?

Extrait de Parfum at 22% to 32% concentrate typically lasts 10 to 14 hours on hydrated skin, versus 6 to 9 hours for Eau de Parfum at 15% to 20%.

What is the EU 2023/1545 threshold for fragrance allergens like linalool?

EU Regulation 2023/1545 mandates INCI disclosure on leave-on fine fragrances whenever linalool, limonene, or eugenol reaches 0.001% (10 ppm) or higher in the finished product.
