Aromatic Profile
The scent of Spinach Leaf CO₂ Wax is fresh, green, and subtly earthy, reminiscent of early morning dew on garden leaves. It opens with crisp, vegetal top notes that fade into a mildly sweet and earthy undertone, evoking freshness and vitality.
This aroma adds a natural green heart note to perfumes, creams, and candles—symbolizing the purity of nature. It blends beautifully with:
Citrus oils: lemon, orange, and bergamot, to enhance brightness.
Florals: rose, jasmine, neroli, and ylang-ylang, for harmony and depth.
Woods and resins: cedarwood, frankincense, vetiver, and oakmoss, for grounding earthy accords.
In perfumery, Spinach CO₂ Wax acts as a natural modifier or fixative, bringing freshness and realism to green, herbal, or fougère compositions. It adds a signature “living leaf” nuance—crisp, rejuvenating, and deeply organic.
