Description
Fenugreek CO2 total extract is a rarely seen, hard-to-find specialty oil – the steam distilled version (essential oil) of Fenugreek even more so. It has valuable aromatic and skincare properties and is sometimes used in perfumery in extremely minute amounts. Its fresh, sweet, calming aroma is diffusive, warm, and powdery, with soft spicy-nutty-earthy undertones and a maple syrup and licorice-like sweetness; the soft, sweet-spicy, nutty notes are very tenacious. “Traces of Fenugreek extract can ruin a perfume…if used in the wrong combination; but equally minute concentrations of Fenugreek extract can do wonders in certain compositions: Oriental bases, aldehydic-herbaceous topnotes, chypres, fougères, lavender compositions, new mown hay bases, etc.”
