Aromatic Profile
The aroma of Greek Mountain Tea CO₂ Wax is fresh, herbal, and subtly sweet, with green and woody undertones. It opens with bright notes reminiscent of lemon balm, chamomile, and mountain herbs, developing into a soft drydown of hay, amber, and warm resin. The scent is clean, grounding, and uplifting—an olfactory representation of mountain sunlight and cool alpine breezes.
In perfumery, it acts as a heart-to-base note with a unique herbal elegance. It harmonizes well with:
- Lavender, rosemary, sage, frankincense, cypress, cedarwood, rose, and sandalwood.
Its fresh yet warm character makes it ideal for unisex and wellness-inspired fragrances, as well as for grounding and energizing aromatic blends. In solid perfumes or balms, it lends a natural sophistication and exceptional stability.
