Fragrances

Aldehyde C9 - A powerful citrus/rosy top note that historically has only been synthesized from petrochemicals.  However, we have found a source derived from citronellol, a key component of citronella oil

Benzoin Resinoid - fragrant gum harvested from the styrax tree native to Sumatra and Siam.  Its scent is reminiscent of cinnamon, vanilla, and almonds and is commonly used to create "amber" type fragrance accords

Bergamot - cold pressed oil from the bergamot citrus peel.  Its fragrance is fresh, citrusy, sharp, and slightly green.  It is very commonly used as a top note in fragrances of all types.  The pure oil can can cause photosensitivity due to its component molecule, bergaptene.  However, our oil is bergaptene free and safe for use.

Buddhawood Oil - Essential oil from Eremophila Mitchelli, a large shrub native to Australia.  Its oil is a dark reddish brown, and imparts a deep woody, leathery scent.

Atlas Cedarwood - native to Morocco and Algeria, the oil of Atlas cedarwood is of course woodsy, but also rich and balsamic.

Virginia Cedarwood - The tree known as "Virginia Cedar" is actually a species of Juniper.  Most distillations of this oil can be somewhat harsh at their opening with an ambery dry-down.  However, we've found a very refined version that retains only the most pleasantly dry, woody, and amber aspects.

Cinnamic alcohol - A key constituent of cinnamon oil, this molecule imparts a spicy and sweet aroma.

Clearwood - Produced by a fermentation process, Clearwood is a light yet warm patchouli type fragrance that lends a unique character to wood accords

Coumarin - The star player in tonka bean.  It is sweet, splcy, and reminiscient of almond and vanilla.  Coumarin is an indispensible ingredient in perfumes of all types.

Eugenol (Natural) - The molecule responsible for the spicy character of many essential oils such as clove, nutmeg, and bay rum (pimenta racemosa).

Fir Balsam Absolute - Solvent extraction of fragrant material from the needles of the balsam fir tree.  Its aroma is rich, warm, sweet, and jam like without the terpenic notes of the essential oil.

Fir Balsam EO - A coniferous, fresh, and clean steam distillation of oil from the needles of the balsam fir tree.

Geraniol - Extracted from palmarosa, a species of grass native to India.  It is also a significant component in the oils of rose and geranium, which make it an ideal candidate for floral type fragrances.

Geranyl Acetate - Another extract of palmarosa and fragrant constituent of many floral oils.  A bit sweeter, slightly soapy, and very fresh smelling molecule.

Guaiac Oil Heart -  Instead of its typically smokey odor, this highly refined version has a very pleasant lactonic, floral scent reminiscent of sandalwood.

Hay Absolute - Solvent extraction of sweetgrass that produces a powerful and diffusive fragrance that is powdery, sweet, green, and jammy.  It is an extremely pleasant and unique material.

Juniper Berry CO2 - This oil is extracted from juniper berries using carbon dioxide as a solvent.  Its scent is characteristic of gin, with fresh woody and fruity notes.
