In perfumery there are many products that we don't have to have, but we absolutely must have. This is one such product. Here we present 100% natural linalool dextro extracted from Russian coriander, and while it has all the beauty you would expect from a natural linalool product, it layers it with the delicate warming spice of fine coriander seeds. This is a material we can't help but smell from the bottle… only to return five minutes later for more. Linalool ex Coriander (also known as Coriander Oil Fractions) was a highly popular raw material in the French fragrance houses located in Imperial Russia and was much loved by Ernest Beaux, creator of Chanel No 5. Our own Jasmin Russe relies heavily on this linalool in fact. It is key to the inimitable quality of that very popular classical jasmine base. We show off this natural isolate in our demonstration version of Arpège, the formula for which can be found further down this page. Payan Bertrand, the creator of this marvellous product is a family owned French company specialising in natural products; it was founded in 1854.
