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 li ly 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. Show more
