Description

Trimofix O (IFF) is a powerful and diffusive woody-amber fragrance material known for its amber, woody, vetiver, smoky tobacco and subtle musky character. IFF's material is widely used to give fragrances greater depth, diffusion and lasting power, particularly in modern woody and amber structures.

Its aroma combines dry woods, warm amber, vetiver, smoky tobacco and soft musk nuances, creating a sophisticated and highly persistent base effect. The material can provide both structure and diffusion, making it useful when a fragrance needs a strong woody-amber foundation.

Trimofix O works particularly well in woody, amber, tobacco, vetiver, oriental, smoky and musky fragrances. It can also be used to reinforce the base of fresh or floral compositions when greater persistence and woody depth are required. The Japanese Fragrance and Flavor Materials Association describes it as a strongly diffusive vetiver, amber and woody material suitable for a broad range of fragrance applications.

Perfumers' Tip

Trimofix O is particularly useful for creating a powerful, dry and diffusive amber-woody foundation. Combine it with Timbersilk or Iso E Super for a smooth modern woody structure, or pair it with Vetiver and Patchouli to emphasize its dry earthy character.

For a modern woody-amber fragrance, try Trimofix O + Timbersilk + Ambroxan + Cedarwood + Patchouli. Tobacco Absolute and Labdanum can emphasize its smoky, warm side, while Bergamot can provide contrast at the top.

Trimofix O also works well as a fixative and base-building material, helping extend the presence of other fragrance ingredients. It has been described as powerful, diffusive and highly persistent, with amber, woody, vetiver, smoky tobacco and musky nuances.

Important: Trimofix O is covered by an IFRA restriction. The current IFRA Standards identify it under the relevant fragrance-ingredient standard, so commercial formulations should be checked against the current category-specific limits rather than relying on a generic dosage recommendation.
