Natural or Synthetic?
Coffee is utilized in perfumery both naturally from Coffea arabica/robusta and synthetically. Natural extraction involves cold pressing or CO2 extraction, capturing the rich, aromatic coffee scent. Synthetics like methoxyphenyl oxime and pyrazines replicate the warm, roasted coffee notes, offering fragrance consistency and cost-effectiveness, especially in gourmand and woody fragrances.
