Pell Wall Perfumes“Sweet-vanilla, creamy, heliotropine, woody, coumarin arctander suggests that “a pure grade of veratraldehyde is an excellent perfume material with more warmth and depth than vanillin, and excellent effect in oriental’ type fragrances, woody-musky bases, etc. it is also an interesting variation of or companion to anisaldehyde.””
