Herbs & Green Notes

Immortelle

Immortelle has a unique, complex scent profile characterized by warm, honeyed, hay-like, and slightly curry-like nuances. It offers a rich, sweet, and somewhat herbaceous aroma with a distinctive maple syrup-like sweetness and a dry, straw-like undertone.
Origin and Extraction
Immortelle, also known as Helichrysum italicum, is native to the Mediterranean region, particularly Croatia, Italy, and France. The essential oil is typically extracted through steam distillation of the flowering tops and leaves of the plant, capturing its unique aromatic compounds.
History and Culture
Immortelle, meaning 'immortal' in French, has been used in traditional medicine and skincare for centuries. In Mediterranean cultures, it was valued for its healing properties and believed to have anti-inflammatory benefits. In perfumery, it gained prominence in the late 20th century as perfumers began exploring more unique and complex botanical notes.
Chemistry and Molecular Structure
Immortelle's distinctive scent comes from its complex chemical composition, including ketones like β-diketones, and sesquiterpenes. Key compounds include neryl acetate, γ-curcumene, and italidiones, which contribute to its unique sweet, hay-like, and slightly spicy aromatic profile.
