At the perfumer’s organ

In the organ, use it to build waxy floral texture, enrich softening sharp accords and introduce fatty-naturalistic body in fruit and blossom themes. As base note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.

Extraction & expression

Aroma chemicals are the precision instruments of the organ. Their value is structural as much as olfactive: they can sharpen an outline, create space, bridge naturals or sustain an effect with repeatable clarity.
