Aromatic Profile
The aroma of Raspberry Leaf CO₂ Extract is soft, green, and delicately herbal, with fresh leafy notes reminiscent of crushed raspberry foliage and young garden herbs. The opening is light and airy, evoking green tea, tender stems, and subtle hay-like nuances. As it settles, faint woody and slightly fruity undertones emerge, adding depth while maintaining a clean and natural profile.
Unlike fruity raspberry notes, this extract is not sweet or berry-like; instead, it offers a restrained botanical greenness that blends seamlessly into green, floral, and herbal compositions. Its gentle diffusion makes it ideal as a background note or modifier rather than a dominant aroma.
In perfumery, it functions as:
- A green herbal top to heart note
- A natural modifier for leafy and tea accords
- A soft bridge between citrus, floral, and woody notes
- A freshness enhancer in natural fragrances
It blends beautifully with green mandarin, bergamot, lemon leaf, linden blossom, rose, violet leaf, chamomile, green tea, basil, coriander leaf, lavender, cedarwood, sandalwood, and light musks.
Formulation & Usage
Raspberry Leaf CO₂ Extract integrates smoothly into oils and can be incorporated into emulsions with gentle warming. It may appear semi-solid at cooler temperatures due to its natural wax content.
