Original designation: Valériane Inde ESS Super

Indian valerian inhabits the deep register of aromatic roots—earthy, musky and strangely green, with an animalic pulse that can make woods and florals feel vividly alive.

At the perfumer’s organ

In the organ, use it to build root-and-skin accords, enrich animalic depth beneath vetiver and woods and introduce tobacco, leather and nocturnal floral bases. As base note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.

  • root-and-skin accords
  • animalic depth beneath vetiver and woods
  • tobacco, leather and nocturnal floral bases

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.
