Original designation: Mélisse ESS
Melissa officinalis L.
Melissa smells of lemon interpreted by a leaf: gentler, greener and more herbal than peel, with tea and soft honey behind the freshness. Its refined ambiguity gives citrus structures a living botanical pulse.

In perfumery vocabulary, Lemon Balm Essence CAL is associated with lemon leaf, green tea, fresh herb, soft floral, minted citrus and honeyed stem. Its creative role is an agile top-note instrument with vivid lift, giving structure and character to complex accords.
In the organ, use it to build herbal colognes, enrich tea-citrus accords and introduce green floral lift. As top note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.
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.
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.
