How it behaves
volatility index 0.44 · the baseA boiling point of 280 °C and a molecular weight of 262.4 g/mol give Vetiveryl Acetate a volatility index of 0.44, which places it in the base of a composition.
It evaporates slowly and anchors the drydown, still readable on skin hours after the top notes have gone.
The index runs from 0 for a material that barely leaves the strip to 1 for one that flashes off, and it is computed from boiling point and molecular weight. Inside a real formula the surrounding materials shift where the boundaries fall, so a material can read differently there than it does here.
