Descriptors
greenherbaceous

A rare, quiet natural with a soft green-waxy character reminiscent of crushed leaves and stems, drying down into a mild hay-like and faintly balsamic undertone. Not a bold or projecting material — more of a shading tone that adds a subdued vegetal realism to green and woody accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Mistletoe Absolute is a dark green, very viscous liquid.

Odor

It has a bitter-herbaceous, foliage-green, or rather green-bark type of odor. The dryout is sweeter and more pleasant.

Uses in perfumery

The material is used in perfumes of the 'forest' type, chypres, moss-bases, fougères, 'men’s fragrances', etc. to introduce a non-perfumey masculine note, or a bitter cortex-type of natural 'fond' in certain perfume bases.

Production

It is prepared by the usual two-step extraction from the leaves and twigs.
