How does this perilla leaf oil smell? Describe its full aroma profile.
A fresh, lively, and bright green-herbaceous profile built on the perillaldehyde signature — like the first sunbeams of morning striking dew-covered perilla leaves: green-herbal coolness, spice pungency, and mint freshness, all three in one.
Aroma Profile
| Stage | Character | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Top | Minty-camphoraceous cool | Fresh mint, cooling camphor-like lift, crisp green |
| Heart | Green-herbaceous perilla | Perillaldehyde signature, fresh leafy green, subtly fruity-plum |
| Drydown | Warm spicy-anise | Soft spice, sweet anise-like warmth, clean balsamic finish |
- Distinctly summery and East Asian — the unmistakable scent of fresh Zi Su leaves and shiso
- Perillaldehyde, the key molecule (2000x sweeter than sucrose), provides the sweet-green, cherry-plum undertone
- Performs superbly as a sparkling modifier: adds brightness and an unusual mint-anise twist to herbal, citrus, and cologne accords
