In perfumery vocabulary, Hydroxycitronellol - BASF is associated with mild sweet, floral, lily-of-the-valley leaning, clean, soft waxy and diffusive. Its creative role is a richly expressive heart-note material, giving structure and character to complex accords.
In the organ, use it to build muguet and clean floral bodies, enrich softening aldehydic bouquets and introduce adding quiet volume to soap-clean florals. As heart note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.
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.
A vintage material for contemporary creation
Preserved within the Maison Orris collection assembled by 2006, this material opens a door to an earlier era of perfumery. An uncommon voice from legendary perfumery heritage, made for mature, daring compositions—a scent from the past, ready to inspire something entirely new.
