Vertofix
Say itVUR-toh-fiks
Warm, dry cedar-vetiver wood with soft ambery, slightly leathery-smoky warmth.
- What it is
- A molecule made from a natural raw material.
- When you smell it
- Dry-down: hours later.
- What perfumers do with it
- Tenacious woody fixative adding warmth and trail; stronger and longer-lasting than Cedramber.
- Worth knowing
- Maurice Roucel describes perfumery's shift from Vertofix Coeur to Iso E Super as a turning point in woody notes.
- Also called
- Acetyl cedrene; methyl cedryl ketone (MCK); Vertofix Coeur; Lixetone
