What does this note smell like?
Dry aromatic leaves with a camphor-like, gently bitter edge, giving citrus, tobacco or soft woods a less sweet herbal line. A documented sage oil uses steam-distilled Salvia officinalis leaves; that is one material example, not every perfume’s species or process. This leaf-led image differs from the rounder musky-amber direction associated with clary sage. Where a country is named, it preserves the source’s qualifier rather than a verified harvest or a measured regional aroma.
