What It Does

Acetyl Cedrene, commercially known as Vertofix Coeur, is a synthetic musk-woody fragrance ingredient produced by the acetylation of cedrene derived from cedarwood oil. It is prized in perfumery for its warm, woody, amber-like scent with subtle musky and slightly fruity nuances, making it a popular base note and fixative in fine fragrances and personal care products. Formulators favor it as a more sustainable and skin-safe alternative to nitro-musks and polycyclic musks, offering excellent tenacity and blending versatility across a wide range of fragrance compositions.
