Why brands choose it

• A less common spice absolute, which helps a fragrance stand apart from clove and cinnamon blends.
• Woody backbone makes it easy to place between sweet and dry notes.
• Suitable for soaps and cosmetics as well as perfumes.

How it is used

Perfumers add it sparingly to oriental, woody or spiced accords. Soap and cosmetic makers dilute it in the fragrance portion and judge it after the product has cured.

Make it yours

Combine it with sandalwood, amber or orange for a spiced-woody signature, and set how bold the spice sits in the blend.
