Ocimene opens with an immediate burst of warm, herbaceous sweetness that reads as both floral and vegetal. This chemical captures the essence of sun-warmed basil leaves crushed between fingers. Its distinctive wet cloth facet brings a modern, clean dimension that perfumers exploit for contemporary freshness.
You'll find ocimene indispensable when building gardenia reconstructions where it provides the crucial mushroom-like dewy quality of the living flower. Layer it into tropical fruit accords to achieve that resinous mango peel effect that transforms synthetic esters into believable fruit. In masculine fragrances, use it to modernise traditional lavender fougères by suppressing medicinal camphor notes whilst amplifying floral freshness.
Deploy ocimene as your vertical lift agent in transparent compositions built on hedione and Iso E Super bases. Its exceptional diffusivity creates immediate spatial expansion upon application. Combine with aldehydes and white musks to achieve that coveted steam-pressed linen effect in functional fragrances.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.
