Rosmarinus officinalis — a Mediterranean aromatic herb with a long history in both perfumery and medicine.
Mediterranean origin, grown widely throughout Europe and the Americas. Essential oil distilled from leaves and flowering tops.
Sharp, slightly medicinal, clean and herbal — with a distinctive camphor-adjacent quality that immediately signals outdoors and open air. Slightly woody underneath the herbs. Energizing rather than relaxing.
Rosemary adds clean aromatic energy and herbal complexity. It appears in masculine Aromatic and Fougère compositions as a classically masculine herb, in Fresh fragrances as a clean green accent and in some Chypre compositions as a structural aromatic element.
Also appears in: Fougère, Fresh, Chypre
