Sage in fragrances is appreciated for its herbaceous, slightly peppery, and earthy qualities. This aromatic herb adds a natural and refreshing element to scent compositions. The use of sage in perfumery can be traced back to ancient medicinal and ritual practices, where its scent was revered for its purifying properties. In modern fragrances, sage contributes a clean, green, and slightly camphoraceous note. It pairs well with citrus, woody, and floral notes, often used to add a crisp and invigorating layer to fragrances. Sage is particularly effective in top and middle notes, where it can introduce a refreshing and vibrant character to the scent.
Natural or Synthetic?
Natural Sage oil is typically obtained through steam distillation of the leaves. However, the yield and characteristics of the oil can vary depending on the source and cultivation conditions. Therefore, synthetic versions of sage are also used to ensure consistency and to complement the natural oil.
