At the perfumer’s organ

In the organ, use it to build living-green accords, enrich rainy gardens and introduce tea structures. As heart note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.

  • tea structures
  • floral stem effects

Extraction & expression

Absolute extraction preserves a broad, saturated portrait of the source. Traditionally, fragrant biomass is first solvent-extracted and the resulting concrete or resinoid is purified with alcohol, giving perfumers a dense material rich in less-volatile facets. Molecular or short-path distillation selects the profile under high vacuum, often refining colour and separating lighter from heavier registers.
