This extract of this little fruit creates the feeling of freshness, joy and energy. It also helps to improve the circulation. In traditional aromatherapy Bergamot also is known to conversely work as a mild sedative to help ease anxiety and help you to relax.

Cedarwood is wonderfully woody and smoky sweet in scent but when mixed with fragrances with multi-faceted notes, the beautifully rounded dry notes of Cedarwood offer depth and softness.

Cedarwood oil is the essential oil extracted from cedar trees. It has a very pleasing nostalgic scent that you’ll no doubt remember from childhood. Fresh pencil shavings.

Cedarwood oil is a very used material perfumery and also in pure aromatherapy known to be stress relieving and good for headaches. So it’s no surprise it brings a sense of calm with mellow base notes.

Most frequently used in base notes it rounds out the sharpness of spice and incense notes, grounds full bloom sweet florals and adds depth and interest to more transparent and lighter notes, but cleverly maintains their clarity.

A floral, uplifting heart note.

Jasmine Sambac is a nightblooming Jasmine that has a rich and floral opulence yet is delicately soft due to its undertones of musk.

Like rose, jasmine is harvested in the early hours of the morning when the fragrance is at is best, highest concentrate and most alluring.

The Jasmine flower is delicate and white and there are over 200 species to choose from each yielding multi-faceted scent, but two specifically are the most revered for perfumery use. The “big flowered jasmine” and the other, known as Jasmine Sambac (sometimes also referred to as Tuscan Jasmine), which yields smaller petals.

I million jasmine petals are harvested to make 1 kilo of pure perfumery oil so no wonder it’s also often referred to as simply “la fleur”.
