Vertofix®

Uses in perfumery :

Vertofix® is used in woody and ambery notes to give tenacity, wake and to fix the note, combined with warm wood notes. More powerful and more tenaceous than Cedramber®, for example.

Year of discovery :

Discovered in 1972.

Natural availability :

Vertofix® is synthesized from a natural raw material, but is not directly present in its natural state.

Isomerism :

Vertofix® is a constitutional isomer of Trimofix®, having a more ambery and cedarwood smell.

Synthesis precursor :

Vertofix® is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.

Synthesis route :

Vertofix® is synthesized by an acetylation of particular fractions of cedarwood Virginia EO. These fractions must contain Alpha-Cedrene and contain Thujopsene. The acid acetylation of these two compounds synthesizes Vertofix® and another compound called "G Isomer", resulting from the presence of Thujopsene. This isomer represents 5 to 10% of Vertofix® used in perfumery.

Stability :

Stable in perfumes and diverse functional bases

Other comments :

Vertofix® has a distinctive leather and violet flower note note, in comparision to other cedarwood notes.
