Verdoracine™ (Givaudan)

Working dilution
What does Verdoracine smell like?
Givaudan describes it as a green note with aspects of freshly peeled carrots and the dry, earthy qualities of galbanum. In a formula it is the material that builds a green galbanum heart without the harsh sulphury bite of the resinoid itself, and the carrot facet gives it a rooty, slightly waxy lift that reads as natural rather than synthetic. The house uses it up to 3% in detergents to carry that green galbanum heart, and at around 1% of a 10% dilution in toiletries and fine fragrance to support earthy and herbaceous accords. It holds about a day on a blotter, so it works as a top-to-heart green rather than a fixative.
