Herbavert
Synthetic Ingredient For Perfumery
Herbavert is a synthetic compound (IUPAC: 3,3,5-trimethyl cyclohexyl-ethyl-ether, C11H22O), introduced at WPC 2018 by Kao Specialties. This colorless liquid features a green, fruity herbal note with unique properties. It provides a fresh, high-impact odor with a medium tenacity lasting up to 90 minutes. Initially presenting a rubbery, sparkling scent, it transitions to a gentle menthol tone and finishes with a sweet, fruity apple note. Herbavert’s distinctive aroma, reminiscent of camphor or cineol, adds complexity to aromatic and fougere compositions.

Herbavert is part of the Kao Specialties presented to me at WPC 2018 in Nice France. It is only the first of a series that I will go through. Herbavert, IUPAC -> 3,3,5-trimethyl cyclohexyl-ethyl-ether \ C11H22O. Herbavert is a colorless liquid, with a green, fruity herbal natural note.
It does not occur in nature.
Profile:
📂 CAS N° 67583-77-1
⚖️ MW — 170.29 g/mol
📝 Odor Type: Fresh
📈 Odor Strength: High impact on top, Medium tenacity, 90 min, pure.
👃🏼 Odor Profile: My perception is very fresh and diffusive, a rubbery aspect (which I love) and a sparkling opening. With a deep breath, I have a menthol effect but not harsh. Delicate. Herbavert has also a medicinal aspect like camphor can have, or cineol. The freshness decreases after 8 to 10 minutes, leading towards the green herbal note which is not very present at the beginning. After 20 minutes, the fresh green note has almost completely disappeared, leaving a sweet fruity apple (blossom?) note, comparable to verdox, or damascone.
👅 Flavor Profile: N\A
⚗️ Uses: Has an extremely diffusive herbal character which is very good in herbal, aromatic and fougere compositions. It can also enhance apple fruity top note or rosy floral top note.
