Immortelle

Immortelle is a vibrant, herbaceous floral note with a distinctive honey-like sweetness. It is derived from the Helichrysum italicum plant, also known as the 'everlasting' or 'curry' flower, which is native to the Mediterranean region. The essential oil is prized for its rich, almost caramelized aroma.

Immortelle has a warm, comforting scent that can evoke feelings of coziness and nostalgia. It is often used in fragrances meant to be worn during the cooler months, as its rich, balsamic qualities pair well with other autumnal notes. Immortelle-based perfumes can create a sense of tranquility and introspection, making them suitable for relaxing or meditative moments.

Immortelle is commonly used as a heart or base note in fragrances, where its warm, honey-like aroma can provide depth and richness. It pairs well with other balsamic, resinous notes like frankincense, myrrh, and benzoin, as well as woody notes like cedarwood and sandalwood. Immortelle is a key ingredient in many oriental, chypre, and fougère-style perfumes, where it lends a distinctive, almost leathery character.
