Description and usage notes:
Typically used in small amounts as a modifier for the green notes in fine fragrance, it can also contribute realism to ‘forest floor’ type fragrance notes and naturalism to woody and leather compositions.
Description from Givaudan: “Odor: Green, Carrot, Galbanum. Use: Verdoracine has a green note with aspects of freshly peeled carrots and dry earthy qualities of galbanum. It is used in detergents at up to 3% to support the green, particularly galbanic heart of a fragrance. It is also used in toiletries and fine fragrances as a 10% dilution at 1% to support earthy, herbaceous notes.”
Arctander writes of what was then a new material: “Green-earthy odor. The green being almost root-like green with vegetable and dry undertones, reminiscent of Galbanum, Vetiver, Asparagus, Tomato-leaves, etc. and a pleasant, somewhat sweeter, Pine-Savin-like and balsamic terminal note.”
He goes on to say that “This relatively new chemical has been suggested for use in modern fragrances as a modifier to the very popular ‘green’ theme with Oakmoss, Galbanum, Vetiver, Styrallyl-esters, etc. to create fresh and natural-woody nuances, dry-green notes in Men’s fragrances, Citrus colognes, ‘Tabac’ notes, etc. It is also an excellent additive in new variations of the ‘leather’ theme.”
As this is an expensive material, and recommended for use at 10% in fine fragrance applications, we also offer it at 10% dilution if you prefer.
