Please note that Galaxolide (Musk G) is normally a colorless, thick liquid at room temperature. You can gently heat the bottle (with its cap loose) in a hot water bath or on a hot plate to reliquify it before use. Once it has thinned to a working consistency, you can use it neat (undiluted) and/or make a dilution of it so that you won't have to heat it each time you need it.
