Descriptions
Description
Trimofix has been accompanying perfumers since the 1960s, playing a significant
role in both traditional and more contemporary fragrance formulations.
Information from the official IFF website:
BACKGROUND
Trimofix was first discovered in R&D in the late 1960’s when IFF chemists
developed a process involving the trimerization of Isoprene using a special
catalyst. It is a powerful, diffusive and complex woody note greatly loved by
Fine Fragrance perfumers. A very substantive and performing molecule containing
facets of ambergris, dry woody cedar characters accompanied by vetiver and musky
undertones.
GREAT COMBINATIONS
Patchouli, Timbersilk, Cashmeran, Zenolide, Cedarwood Oil, Methyl Cedryl Ketone.
USEFUL IN CREATING
“Dry tones to ambergris, increasing the sweet incense and resinous facets of
opoponax, labdanum and balsams notes and adding body & depth to leather, vetiver
and tobacco notes.”
WHY WE LOVE IT
“Trimofix is powerful and diffusive woody note with an interesting synergy when
combined with Ambermor increasing the fixative properties of your fragrance.”

Comment (FraterWork)
With radiant nuances of earthy vetiver, subtle smoky tobacco
[https://fraterworks.com/products/tobacco-signature-absolute], and a touch of
musky softness, Trimofix adds depth and sophistication to fragrance. It can be
used in traces as a fixative or in overdose (but keep in mind its 2.4% IFRA
restriction). It can be seen as somewhat similar in profile to Ambraketal (Z11
[https://fraterworks.com/products/z11-10-mip]) but with a shorter lifespan and
intensity. However, its complexity and ability to lift woody compositions make
it a highly useful ingredient.
Trimofix blends well with Vetiver
[https://fraterworks.com/pages/rapid-search-results] oils, Iso E Super
[https://fraterworks.com/products/iso-e-super]™, Vertofix
[https://fraterworks.com/products/vertofix-coeur], and other woody synthetics
and has a synergy with galbanum related materials like Dynascone, Neobutenone
Alpha [https://fraterworks.com/products/neobutenone] and Allyl Amyl Glycyolate
[https://fraterworks.com/products/allyl-amyl-glycolate].
Trimofix's popularity can be attested to by the large number of perfumes in
which it is to be found: Green Irish Tweed, 1.8% in The One (Dolce & Gabbana,
2008), Nasomatto Duro (2007), Baccarat Rouge 540, Amouage Memoir Men, Bleu de
Chanel (2010), Balade Sauvage (Dior), Opium for Men, By the Fireplace (Maison
Martin Margiela) and many many more.
