| Luebke, William tgsc, (1987) | At 100.00 %. floral woody vetiver waxy |
| Stable in: body lotion (good), shampoo (very good), soap (very good), ap roll-on (very good), powder (very good), cleaner citric (very good), cleaner apc (excellent), bleach (poor). | Woody, vetiver, citrus, floral. gives a clean freshness to vetiver accords; gives tart and bitter elements to citrus top notes; underlines red fruit characteristics |
| General comment | Mild woody, somewhat vetiveryl acetate-like |
| Arcadi Boix Camps, writing in 1985, says that this material “has a top note very typical of the essential oil of vetiver but without the woody note of vetiverol” but also points out that it is not a full substitute for the natural oil as it lacks the radiant effect. | Floral, woody, vetiver, vetiveryl acetate, ambery |
