A refined, softened vetiver derivative — the characteristic earthy, rooty vetiver character is smoothed out and rounded by the valeric ester, giving a creamy, slightly fruity-woody drydown. Less smoky and dirty than raw vetiver oil, with a suede-like, elegant persistence.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Pale straw-colored or pale amber-colored, slightly viscous liquid.

Solubility

Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Delicately herbaceous-fruity, musty-woody, dry-and-sweet, very tenacious odor.

Uses in perfumery

The title ester is very rare, but has found a little use in perfumery, mainly as a companion to Oakmoss- and 'tabac'-notes in perfumes, including powder perfumes, where the title material performs very well.

Production

Produced from purified Vetiverol with n-Valeric acid or iso-Valeric acid.
