From iff: “warm woody, dry amber, cedarwood. use in woody complexes & provides good support for most florals. substantive & has very interesting synergistic properties.” arcadi boix camps finds a complex herbal-agresic quality that is missing from other similar woody-amber materials. he says there are “quite interesting moss, thyme, origanum, sage, rosemary and lavender spike aspects. of special interest is a clear rosemary absolute shade that recalls to me the woodiness of mediterranean forests, desptie that a humid earth shade is missing to reconstruct the overall scent, say, of the maritime forests in catalonia in the northeast of spain. i like accords of bornafix paired with a woody-rooty-herbal and humid chemical … its accords with tonilide or … vulcanolide, are absolutely great.”
