Odor

The oil has a very delicate, woody-rosy odor of the clary sage—tobacco type, clean and fresh with a sweet undertone reminiscent of high-quality tea leaves, verbena and zdravetz oil.

Uses in perfumery

The oil or the absolute would certainly find enthusiastic perfumers who could utilize the pleasant and interesting notes in modern-aldehydic fantasy fragrances, citrus colognes, men’s fragrances, muguet bases, ambre bases, new mown hay bases and other floral and non-floral bases, fresh perfume types.

Production

An absolute, extracted by petroleum ether, then alcohol-washed. An essential oil, steam distilled from the flowers.
