Rather subtle, reminiscent of seaweed, wood, moss, with a peculiar sweet, yet very dry undertone of unequaled tenacity. There is rarely any animal note at all in a good grade of Am…

Sweet-spicy, slightly green, fresh, with a faint balsamic woody undertone and a lasting sweetness. The exotic type is somewhat coarse-herbaceous, slightly camphoraceous in the init…

Fresh, dry-woody, warm-spicy, reminiscent not only of the odor of dried black pepper, but also of elemi, cubeb and other essential oils of high terpene-sesquiterpene content.

Quite unique: delicately dry-floral, at the same time reminding one of orange flowers, ylang-ylang, carnation and tearose. There are notes which resemble those of sage clary, methy…

Warm-spicy, but rather harsh odor, lacking the rich body of the bark oil. Has some resemblance to the odor of clove leaf oil and clove stem oil.

Fresh and sweet, revealing the high content of citronellal and geraniol + citronellol. Does not present the camphene-borneol notes characteristic of Ceylon citronella oil. The dryo…

Sweet-spicy note with fruity-fresh topnote and a touch of acetic odor making it refreshing. The eugenol note is distinctly subdued, sweetened and freshened by trace materials.

Crude oil: somewhat harsh, phenolic, only slightly sweet, with a 'burnt' breadlike note, distinctly different from eugenol and clove bud oil. Woodiness and dryness are the most typ…

Fresh-leafy, sweet-rosy odor, somewhat reminiscent of the odor of Guinea lemon petitgrain oil and eucalyptus citriodora oil.

The odor is warm, but fresh-woody, spicy and with a peculiar resemblance to orange, lemon, lemon-grass, coriander seed oil, etc. in the initial, fresh topnotes. The sweet and heavy…
