Materials From Plants
Essential oils.
Materials From Chemistry
Carefully chosen aroma chemicals to enhance the performance of essential oils and add depth to fragrances.
Aldehyde C-12 MNA
Used to lift citruses, adding a cold, metallic, and slightly ozonic sparkle to the top of the evaporation curve.
Ambergris T Oliffac
Adds a dry, oceanic, radiant shimmer that pushes the bottom end of the fragrance outward, aiding to the cool airy scent of glass.
Ambrettolide
A sheer, slightly fruity/seed-like natural musk from ambrette seeds, which synergizes cleanly with green and floral notes.
Basil, Sweet
Green, faint anise-like, sweet herbaceous scent.
Bergamot Givco 104
A citrus fruity bergamot that lasts longer than the natural form. Used to provide a bergamot note at a higher level without the allergy restrictions from the natural form.
Cabreuva Wood
Sophisticated sweet woody character with distinctive floral facets reminiscent of rose, neroli, and lily-of-the-valley, enhanced by balsamic warmth and subtle metallic brightness.
Cis-3-Hexenyl Tiglate
Fresh, green, floral, and fruity odor with hints of chamomile. Used to elongate the grassy notes.
Clary Sage
Intense, somewhat sweet yet also bitter herbaceous aroma with soft floral and hay notes.
Floralozone
Floral, aldehydic, and fresh. It creates a massive, freezing atmospheric volume that forces the other notes to feel suspended in the air.
Galbanum
Intense, tenacious, bittersweet, green, and bell pepper-like aroma, with a smooth woody/balsamic undertone.
Habanolide
A musk that provides a glassy, iron, metallic sheen.
Hedione HC
Provides massive projection and lift to florals without adding density or weight.
Isoamyl Salicylate
A waxy, slightly botanical material that bridges the florals toward the base.
Linalool
The sweet floral "bud." Reacting with the sharper top notes to smooth out the jagged edges of the citrus and greens.
Magnolan
A watery, magnolia-like petal texture that feels fleshy and wet, rather than powdery or dry.
Mastic Oil Rectified
Radiant, sparkling terpenic green. Opening reminiscent of sun-warmed pine needles, evolving into a balsamic-woody heart with subtle herbaceous and mineral nuances.
Organic Cane Alcohol
Base for all fragrances.
Orbitone T Neo
A balsamic creamy cedar, providing a sheer woody backbone without weighing down the fragrance.
Oxynex ST
Used to protect all fragrances. An anti-pollution shield that extends fragrance performance. Stops UV & oxidation. For regulatory reasons, listed on packaging as Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate.
Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol
Sweet, floral, fresh and bready with a rosey honey nuance.
Stemone
Lasting green, leafy, and fresh. Used to intensify grass notes.
Vetiver, Haiti
Heavy, slightly sweet and resinous, with pronounced woody, earthy, root-like notes and light smoky undertones.
Vetiveryl Acetate
Sweet, dry yet fresh woody scent. Used to elongate the natural vetiver throughout a fragrance.
Triethyl Citrate Natural (TEC)
A versatile ester of citric acid, primarily used as a non-toxic solvent. This is used when diluting materials.
Violet Leaf Absolute
Soft woody nuances. During the long dry-down the aroma becomes muted, earthy and grassy.
Violettyne MIP
Floral, fruity-green, strong violet-leaf note with a galbanum and cucumber under note. Used to elongate the violet leaf absolute.
Yuzu
A bright, strong, faintly floral, citrus aroma with a zesty, green citrus back-note that becomes a balsamic sweetness in the drydown. A unique citrus aroma that lasts longer than other citrus peel oils.
