Attention!

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

Herboxane (Giv) has a green, herbal scent reminiscent of chamomile. The scent is not particularly strong; undiluted use is common. It is typically used in green, spicy fragrances, in combination with related substances, but it certainly also complements citrus. You usually use between 1% and 10% of this substance in fragrance compositions. Its typical use is in fougères and similar aromatic, spicy fragrances. It adds a fresh touch to the scent. In perfumes, it's primarily a top note; it's stable in most products. It can also be used in soaps, but it doesn't perform very well in them.

Store in a cool, dry, dark place, and out of reach of children.
