Evernyl

Evernyl, also known as Veramoss, is a synthetic aroma chemical widely used in perfumery to mimic the scent of oakmoss. Recognizable by its chemical name 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine, evernyl provides a sophisticated, mossy fragrance with a distinct wooden note that resembles the natural aroma of oakmoss. Its scent profile includes earthy, woody, and leathery undertones, making it a popular choice for adding depth and complexity to a fragrance formula.

Evernyl is valued for its versatility and effectiveness in imparting a rich, lingering base note that enhances the longevity of the fragrance. It is often found in chypre and fougère perfumes, contributing to their classic, elegant aura. This synthetic ingredient is also used as a safer substitute for natural oakmoss, which can cause allergies and has restrictions in use due to its potential skin sensitizing properties. Evernyl thus offers a stable, reliable alternative that helps maintain the traditional appeal of mossy notes in contemporary perfumery.
