Immortelle, also known as the everlasting flower, has a unique presence in perfumery due to its deep, rich, and honey-like fragrance with hints of hay and tea. Its history in fragrance dates back to traditional uses in herbal medicine and aromatic preparations. Immortelle is primarily sourced from the Mediterranean region and is known for its ability to retain its color and form long after picking, hence its name. The extraction of Immortelle's essence is typically through steam distillation of the flowers, which captures its full aromatic profile. While Immortelle is predominantly used in its natural form, advancements in fragrance technology have led to the development of synthetic analogs that mimic its warm and complex scent. Immortelle is a favorite in oriental and woody fragrance families, prized for its warmth and depth.
Natural or Synthetic?
Immortelle, also known as Helichrysum, is used in perfumery both in its natural and synthetic forms. Natural immortelle essential oil, extracted through steam distillation, offers a rich, honey-like, and slightly spicy aroma. Synthetic versions, designed to mimic these olfactory characteristics, provide consistency and cost-effectiveness in fragrance formulation.
