The commercial OTNE material, sold among other names as Iso E Super, comprises more than twenty isomeric ketones. Its dominant isomer makes up most of the mixture yet is nearly odourless; the characteristic scent comes from a minor constituent, the gamma isomer, which typically represents only a few percent.

Način dobijanja
Fragrant compounds of woody and fibrous plant materials are often obtained by maceration or solvent extraction. Woods are used in the form of macerations or dry-distilled (rectified) forms. Many different methods are used for sandalwood, including steam distillation, water distillation, CO2 extraction and solvent extractions. Steam distillation is the most common method used by sandalwood companies. Oud oil can be distilled from agar wood using steam; the total yield of oil for 70 kg of wood will not exceed 20 ml. Patchouli oil is extracted by steam distillation of the dried leaves and twigs. In commercial applications, Iso E Super is produced via a Diels-Alder reaction.

U parfemima
Wood oils and distillates are highly important in providing the base notes to a perfume, and they are indispensable in perfumery. Commonly used woods include sandalwood, rosewood, agarwood, birch, cedar, juniper and pine. Sandalwood oil imparts a long-lasting, woody base to perfumes of the oriental, woody, fougère and chypre families, and acts as a fixative for floral and citrus fragrances. Vetiver is used widely in perfumes for its excellent fixative properties. Oud is generally used as a base note and is traditionally paired with rose. Beginning in the late 1980s, Iso E Super became a staple in perfumery.
