Oregano

Oregano brings a vibrant Mediterranean herbaceousness to perfumery, sharp and resinous with camphorous, spicy green facets. Its essential oil lends warmth, aromatic depth, and a savory, thyme like character that brightens fougère and aromatic chypre constructions. Used sparingly as a top to middle note, oregano pairs well with citrus, lavender, rosemary, basil, labdanum, cedar, and vetiver to balance sweetness and earthiness. Its potency demands restraint, where small drops create convincing herbaceous realism and rustic sun warmed complexity and green accords.
