Estragole

Estragole is a sweet, anise-like fragrance note with a fresh, slightly spicy scent profile that carries subtle herbal and floral undertones. Its aroma is aromatic, warm, and inviting, adding a distinctive and lively quality to perfumes. Estragole imparts a bright, slightly licorice-like character and is often used as a middle note to create depth and complexity in fragrance compositions. It pairs beautifully with floral, green, and woody notes, contributing to fragrances that are sophisticated, refreshing, and full of character.

History & Production: Estragole is a naturally occurring compound found in various plants, including tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) and basil. Known for its distinct, anise-like aroma, estragole is often extracted from these plants through steam distillation, although it can also be synthesized. In modern perfumery, estragole is valued for its ability to add a fresh, aromatic depth that enhances the complexity and warmth of fragrances, providing a unique twist and an herbal, licorice-like sweetness that balances and brightens compositions.
