At the perfumer’s organ

In the organ, use it to build mediterranean aromatic accords, enrich spiced colognes and fougères and introduce green lift over woods, incense and leather. As top note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.

Extraction & expression

An essence belongs to the more volatile, mobile side of the palette. Depending on the botanical, it may come from distillation or—in explicitly expressed citrus grades—from mechanical pressing, bringing immediacy and lift.
