Sage
Sage is an herbaceous and aromatic fragrance note known for its fresh, green, and slightly camphorous scent. It carries subtle earthy and woody undertones that evoke a sense of natural clarity and warmth. Sage adds a refreshing and sophisticated touch to perfumes, often used as a top or middle note to enhance the brightness and complexity of a composition. It pairs well with citrus, florals, and woody notes, contributing an uplifting and clean quality to modern and classic fragrances alike.
History & Production: Sage, specifically Salvia officinalis, has been used for centuries in various cultures for its medicinal, culinary, and aromatic properties. Native to the Mediterranean region, sage has long been associated with healing and purification rituals. In perfumery, the essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of the plant’s leaves and stems, preserving its distinctively fresh and green aroma. Sage continues to be a valued ingredient in fragrance-making, offering a versatile and natural element that enhances the character and complexity of perfumes.
