Appearance

Steam distilled, de-waxed and fatty-acid-free Laurel Berry Oil is a pale yellow, greenish yellow or olive-green, mobile liquid.

Odor

Flavor

Its fresh-medicinal, but pleasantly spicy and warm flavor has also been appreciated.

Uses in perfumery

In perfumery, the oil has found use as a modifier in chypre, colognes, luxury pine fragrances, ambre bases, etc.; in a multitude of perfume types, the oil can enter as a trace additive to give fresh-warm, camphoraceous-spicy effects in the topnote.
