Verdyl acetate

Verdyl acetate (CAS 5413-60-5) is a synthetic fragrance ingredient used in perfumery and scented formulations to deliver fresh, green, and woody-herbaceous notes. It is distinct from bornyl acetate, which shares some olfactory character but differs in structure and commercial sourcing. Formulators select it specifically for its stability in complex fragrance bases and its compatibility with a broad range of carrier systems. In fine fragrance and personal care, it contributes top-to-heart transitions with a clean, coniferous character.

This ingredient is particularly suited to masculine and unisex scent profiles. Rinse-off and leave-on cosmetic products, including shampoos, body washes, and skin creams, use it to anchor green freshness without the volatility loss common in lighter terpene esters. Industrial applications include scented coatings, printing inks, and adhesives where controlled odor profiling is required for consumer-facing packaging. Household and air care product formulators also incorporate it into sprays and gels.

These applications often target fresh, outdoor-inspired scent themes. The compound is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid and is available in fragrance-grade quality meeting industry standards such as IFRA compliance requirements. Packaging typically ranges from small drums to bulk quantities suited to fragrance house and industrial purchasing volumes. Its chemical stability ensures a long shelf life when stored under recommended conditions in a cool, dry environment.
