    Preferred Fragrance Families / Combinations

    Because BHT is low-odor and nonreactive (within recommended use levels), it pairs especially well with fragrance types that are vulnerable to oxidation:

    • Citrus / Fresh notes (e.g. lemon, bergamot, orange) — helps prevent “off sour” odors

    • Aldehydic / ozonic accords — maintains crispness

    • Delicate florals (rose, jasmine, lily) — preserves brightness & prevents discoloration

    • Green / herbal notes (e.g. galbanum, leaves) — helps retain their fresh green character

    • Woody / resins / oud blends — protects against gradual rancid or stale transitions

      Comparison Table: Sarochem™ BHT vs. Other Brands

      Feature	Sarochem™ BHT	Generic/Other Brands
      Purity	99.9%	95–98%
      Appearance	White crystalline	Yellowish / impure
      Odor Impact	Neutral	Slight chemical note
      Solubility	Excellent in oils & alcohols	Moderate
      Shelf Life Extension	Long-lasting	Medium
      Application Range	Perfumes, cosmetics, oils, candles	Limited

    In practice, BHT should be used at low concentration levels (typically 0.01% – 0.1 % w/w, depending on the system) so that it does not interfere with scent or stability.
