BACKGROUND

Trimofix was first discovered in R&D in the late 1960’s when IFF chemists developed a process involving the trimerization of Isoprene using a special catalyst. It is a powerful, diffusive and complex woody note greatly loved by Fine Fragrance perfumers. A very substantive and performing molecule containing facets of ambergris, dry woody cedar characters accompanied by vetiver and musky undertones.

GREAT COMBINATIONS

Patchouli, Timbersilk, Cashmeran, Zenolide, Cedarwood Oil, Methyl Cedryl Ketone.

USEFUL IN CREATING

“Dry tones to ambergris, increasing the sweet incense and resinous facets of opoponax, labdanum and balsams notes and adding body & depth to leather, vetiver and tobacco notes.”

WHY WE LOVE IT

“Trimofix is powerful and diffusive woody note with an interesting synergy when combined with Ambermor increasing the fixative properties of your fragrance.”
