Caution!

Before purchasing, read all the information below and the general product information.

Not intended for use in food, vape liquids, or other internal use.

Intended for mixing with other fragrances: on its own, the scent can be dull or even unpleasant.

Do not use undiluted on the skin: it is a raw material, not a finished product.

Use

Essential oil Cognac green has a fresh green scent, with difficult-to-describe aspects of cognac, whiskey, and other distilled spirits. The scent is not very strong: dilution is not really necessary. It pairs well with other green, fruity, and spicy scents, as well as with (green) florals such as rose and violet. It adds a unique accent. You typically use between 0,1% and 2% of this substance in fragrance compositions, but you can easily use more. In perfumes, it primarily serves as a base note and is fairly stable at a neutral pH, making it less suitable for soaps.

Store in a cool, dry, and dark place.

Properties

Essential oil Cognac green is a green liquid at room temperature. It has a relatively long shelf life. The oil is produced by steam distillation from the yeast and other residues left over from distilling cognac. Like all essential oils, this is a mixture of various substances, although these are less well-documented for this less common essential oil. The main components are ethyl and isoamyl esters of various fatty acids, such as ethyl octanoate. It also contains short-chain free fatty acids such as decanoic acid.

For all raw materials, but especially the more natural ones, the scent, colour, and other properties can vary within a certain range from batch to batch and over time.
