About this material
Herbac by IFF is a strikingly modern expression of green intensity—an ingredient that captures nature at its most vivid and untamed.
Readily biodegradable and crafted without stabilisers, it reflects a refined commitment to both performance and environmental responsibility.
At its core, Herbac reveals a powerful woody-herbal signature, shaped by the aromatic depth of cedar leaf and the intriguing complexity of thujone.
This distinctive profile unfolds into a multi-dimensional sensory experience: cool camphor facets intertwine with earthy undertones, while crisp eucalyptus and wet, minty nuances lend a refreshing, almost invigorating clarity.
Highly impactful, Herbac brings exceptional diffusion and presence to compositions, delivering pronounced top and heart note radiance.
Its versatility is matched by impressive stability, performing beautifully across fine fragrances as well as functional applications such as soaps, AP deodorants, and shampoos.
Elegant yet assertive, Herbac is designed for perfumers seeking to elevate compositions with a bold green signature—fresh, textured, and unmistakably contemporary.

Fragrance allergen reference
Generic regulatory reference only. This is not a supplier allergen declaration, measured composition, allergen-free claim or finished-product labelling assessment.
Raw-material reference based on recorded CAS numbers. A CAS match identifies a reference entry; it does not verify the supplied grade, composition, purity or finished-product compliance. Naturals, bases and mixtures require composition review.

Creative ideas to explore
Creative directions, not tested formulas.Woods in daylight
With bergamot and a crisp citrus openingExplore a spare wood structure with citrus providing the opening contrast. Compare a brighter version with the wood reference and follow how the outline changes, keeping the later impression as important as the first moment.
A softer grain
With sandalwood and a musk directionSet the woody material beside a softer wood reference, then compare a restrained musk variation. Decide whether your concept needs creamy texture, dry definition or more space between its parts before expanding the accord.
Petals on timber
With rose and a clear floral accordTry a flower-and-wood study in which both subjects remain recognisable. Compare the floral reference with the woody variation through the evaluation, noting whether the wood forms a useful backdrop or becomes the centre of the idea.
