How does this michelia leaf oil smell — aroma profile and character?
This michelia leaf oil opens with a fresh, tea-like green top note — crisp, leafy and clean. The heart is a sweet floral bouquet reminiscent of white michelia blossoms, soft and elegant, and the drydown is a gentle woody-floral warmth. The overall profile is natural and serene: the signature sweet white-flower of michelia carried on a green, tea-like freshness.
Aroma Profile
| Note | Description |
|---|---|
| Top | Fresh tea-like green, crisp leafy, clean and bright |
| Heart | Sweet white-floral michelia bouquet, soft, creamy-elegant |

- Linalool (typically ~89%) is the backbone: it gives the clean floral-fresh body with the characteristic sweet-woody facet
- Compared with the precious white michelia flower oil, the leaf oil is greener and tea-like, with more leafy freshness and less creamy depth — an affordable and versatile alternative
- It blends beautifully with lavender, petitgrain, ylang-ylang, bergamot, neroli, green-tea accords and woody bases, and is a classic floral modifier in fine perfumery
