Skatole or 3-methylindole is a mildly toxic white crystalline organic compound belonging to the indole family. Sakatole is also described as a white, crystalline, solid, C 9 H 9 N, having a strong, fecal odor: used chiefly as a fixative in the manufacture of perfume. It occurs naturally in feces and coal tar, and has a strong fecal odor. In low concentrations it has a flowery smell and is found in several flowers and essential oils, including those of orange blossoms, jasmine, and Ziziphus mauritiana. It is used as a fragrance and fixative in many perfumes and as an aroma compound. Its name is derived from the Greek root skato- meaning "dung".

The odour of skatole depends on its concentration. At low concentrations, skatole actually has a rather nice, sweet smell; it crops up in orange blossom and jasmine in small amounts. It's also used by Zantedeschia aethiopica. It's an Arum lily, (photo, right), which makes skatole attractive to pollinating insects. It has flowers on the central part (the spadix) in male and female zones. The faint scent attracts crawling insects and bees which pollinate the flowers.

It is used as a fixative in perfumes. Perfumes are mixtures of molecules, generally with Molecular Mass below 300, of varying volatilities. Their "top note" is made of volatile substances with instant impact; once this disappears, the "middle note" is longer lived, whilst the "base note" which may linger for days or weeks, and may make up 50% of the perfume, are deep odours that may not be smelt for some time. The fixative is a molecule with a deep odour that has a low volatility and which helps to reduce evaporation of the more volatile components (like musk). This means that the perfume keeps longer.
