At the perfumer’s organ

In the organ, use it to build powerful mediterranean herb accords, enrich trace heat in leather and woods and introduce savory-green contrast in aromatic florals. As top note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.

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.
