Cassiffix

Cassiffix is a synthetic aroma chemical developed by International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF), renowned for its vibrant, non-sulfurous blackcurrant (cassis) character.

It possesses impressive diffusion and potency, imparting a fresh, sparkling, green juiciness to fragrances.

It offers a remarkable bloom that fills the room and pairs exceptionally well with natural Cassis notes.

Cassis notes play a crucial role in perfumery and are commonly linked to ingredients that contain a sulfur atom.

The accidental discovery of Cassiffix occurred during IFF R&D’s pursuit of creating new cyclic ethers with oxabicyclooctane structures, initially expecting an amber scent derived from the campholenic backbone. Ultimately, the structure of Cassiffix revealed a distinct Cassis aroma.

Among the limited number of long-lasting Cassis ingredients available, Cassiffix stands out as a noteworthy exception to the typical top note nature of Cassis scents.

Cassiffix is versatile and can be used in various fragrance types, including:

• Red berry and tropical accords

• Sweet, vanilla, and powdery formulations, where it imparts a gourmand feel

• Citrus compositions, enhancing their brightness

It is commonly utilised in fine fragrances, shampoos, shower gels and other personal care products and stands out as a unique, long-lasting cassis ingredient, offering a non-sulfurous alternative to traditional blackcurrant notes in perfumery.

Its ability to enhance and brighten various fragrance profiles makes it a valuable component in modern fragrance design and a worthy contender to the classic Cassis Base 345B

It blends well with Ambrettolide, Delta Damascone and Cashmeran
