Rosemary
Rosemary is a fresh, herbaceous note that brings a bright, slightly camphorous, and aromatic scent to perfumes. Its profile is both invigorating and earthy, with hints of pine and a touch of mint-like sharpness, making it a versatile component in fragrances. Often used as a top or middle note, rosemary imparts an uplifting and revitalizing quality to perfumes. It blends seamlessly with citrus, lavender, and woods, enhancing the overall composition with its natural, crisp, and green aroma.
History & Production: Rosemary, known scientifically as Rosmarinus officinalis, is native to the Mediterranean region and has been revered for centuries for its medicinal and aromatic properties. The essential oil is typically obtained through steam distillation of the plant’s leaves and flowering tops, resulting in a clear oil with a fresh, herbal scent. Used in ancient times for religious ceremonies and as a symbol of remembrance, rosemary has continued to hold cultural significance. In perfumery, its refreshing and slightly spicy fragrance has become a valued ingredient for adding an aromatic, green touch to both traditional and contemporary scents.
