    Grade: Fraterworks® Signature

    Aroma Chemicals

    CAS: 13431-57-7 Classification: Heart Note[i]

    Velberry™ is a soft sweet chemical with a red fruit character. It has some similarities to raspberry ketone but with interesting whisky and green facets. This can be a particularly useful material when an alternative is needed to the classic (but discolouring) vanillin and heliotropin.

    Velberry adds volume and body to a scent and can be used in very large doses (particularly in functional fragrances). The price is incredibly good and has virtually no regulatory barriers to widespread use.

    In BASF's own words: “The gourmand character combines soft, powdery notes with freshness and red fruits. Showing good stability in all applications, the top note material has an excellent blooming effect.”

    In this interesting interview from Perfumer and Flavorist (sponsored by BASF,) Ralf Pelzer, director of new business development, BASF Aroma Ingredients, and Tony Dallimore, perfumery director of Phoenix Fragrances LTD., discuss the ingredient’s development, applications, profile and more.

    General Information

    Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.

    All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.

    IFRA Standards

    Permitted amounts in finished product:

    IFRA 51: 100%
    IFRA 49: 100%

    These are derived from calculated concentrations which do not replace chromatographic quantification on individual lots. Disclaimer...

    Raspberry and whiskey... Or rum? May not be a good fit sometimes

    This opens with that classic whiskey malt smell with some small suggestions of that toasted coconut-like smell of whiskey lactone. Although as it goes on, that goes away and you're left with the smell of cane sugar and a clean bourbon-like ambery oakwood smell. As for the raspberry and powderiness, that is there from start to finish and it's quite nice. It's like a white powdery musk with raspberry preserves scent that also has malt whiskey for the first half, then it turns into white powdery musk with raspberry and sugar-forward rum essences in the second half. I don't get much green notes. Very nice stuff. Only issue is when I mixed it into a blend I was working on, it created an off-putting smell. Not wet dog, like someone else experienced, but it was not what I was looking for. Sometimes these chemicals interact in ways you don't expect

    A.S.

    i can't get this to work for me - it smells like wet dog in the bottle, on a strip, and with whatever i blend it with. it's not an issue with frater's - i have two bottles from another supplier and same deal. it reminds me of the wet dog smell from rosehip oil. i don't like to bring down ratings due to a subjective impression so i'm still going to give this one 5 stars but this is definitely not what i expected haha.
