Vertofix brings a modern dry-woody signature with a clean vetiver–cedar breath-warm, tidy, and long-lasting. The opening is streamlined dry wood with a gentle smokiness and a faint ambery sweetness, settling quickly into a smooth backbone that sharpens the overall structure and elevates sophistication.

In formulas, Vertofix acts as an effective fixative, extending diffusion and improving tenacity on skin, fabric, and soap. It dries and streamlines citrus notes, clarifies woody facets in fougère, chypre, and woody–amber themes, and lends a clean wood body to contemporary florals without overpowering the central idea.

Vertofix pairs beautifully with Vetiver, Cedarwood (Atlas/Virginia), Patchouli, Iso E Super, Ambroxan, Cashmeran, and musk families. It creates a crisp wood base in citrus colognes and supports warm amber in orientals. Combine with jasmine, iris, or rose to build an elegant dry-wood spine, or add subtle incense/resin for a thin veil of smoke and depth.

It shows strong stability across applications: fine fragrance, body mist, alkaline soap, scented cleaners, candles, and reed diffusers. The odor profile changes little over time, preserving its clean “dry-wood vetiver” character through the product’s life and reinforcing a professional, solid foundation.

Suggested use levels: 0.2–2% for subtle backbone, 2–5% for a clearer dry-wood/fixative effect, potentially higher in soap and home-care formats depending on the target impact. Add Vertofix when you need a neat, clean, and durable woody line to lock the composition in place.
