Vetiveryl Acetate D

Vetiveryl Acetate is a semi-synthetic compound derived from vetiver oil that is commonly used in perfumery.

It comes from the roots of the vetiver plant (Chrysopogon zizanioides), a grass native to India

It’s an acetate ester, specifically the acetic acid ester of vetiverol, a sesquiterpene alcohol found in vetiver oil.

Frequently used in both masculine and unisex fragrances.

It adds depth, longevity, and a refined woody backbone without the rough edges of natural vetiver.

Vetiveryl acetate is favored for its versatility, stability, and pleasant refinement of vetiver’s rugged aroma.

It can act as a fixative and is often blended with other woody notes, musks, citrus, and florals.

Vetiveryl acetate is inherently long-lasting, but combining it with musks and Ambroxan enhances performance.

You’ll find it in perfumes like:

• Terre d’Hermès by Hermès
• Grey Vetiver by Tom Ford
• Encre Noire by Lalique
• Molecule 03 by Escentric Molecules
