At the perfumer’s organ

In the organ, use it to build voluminous tropical floral hearts, enrich ylang-style bouquets with a greener edge and introduce spiced floral bridges into woods and balsams. As heart note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.

  • spiced floral bridges into woods and balsams

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.
