Sarriette Base 199618 is a Firmenich aromatic herbal specialty of extraordinary potency. The opening is dry and thyme-like with a sharp, piercing green edge, settling into vegetal pepper notes and cool spearmint. It smells like wild savory growing on a sun-baked Mediterranean hillside, intensified tenfold. This base transforms fougeres and aromatic compositions with a raw, wild herbal character that polished lavender and rosemary alone cannot achieve. Use it to add untamed Mediterranean intensity to your accords. It reinforces and lifts other herbal notes, making them feel more vivid and natural. Dilute well before blending — this is extraordinarily powerful and a single drop changes a composition. Pair with lavender, oakmoss, and coumarin for classic fougere construction. Try it alongside pine, juniper, and cedarwood for wild forest accords that smell genuinely alive.
