Descriptions
Description

Odor description (Perfumiarz)
The molecule Farnesol is a component of countless essential oils and absolutes.
It possesses a delicate yet long-lasting floral-green scent. Its role is to fill
in and harmonize other notes, rather than taking the spotlight.

Comment (FraterWork)
Farnesol greets you with a whisper rather than a shout—this is one of
perfumery's most delicate materials. The fresh green-floral character evokes
linden trees in bloom and dewy lily of the valley. Interestingly, the scent
actually intensifies as it evaporates, revealing hidden depths over time.
This material occurs naturally in over thirty essential oils, from ylang-ylang
to tuberose, palmarosa to neroli. Its exceptional 400-hour substantivity makes
it invaluable as a fixative, extending the life of fleeting floral notes. You'll
find farnesol indispensable in muguet reconstructions, where it adds fruity
nuances while anchoring the accord.
Use farnesol as a blender across virtually any floral composition—lilac, peony,
rose, jasmine all benefit from its gentle touch. The material also possesses
genuine deodorising properties, making it functional as well as beautiful. Start
at lower concentrations and build; its subtlety rewards patience.
