Origin

Borage is an annual herb native to the Mediterranean region, with its leaves and flowers sometimes used for extraction. In perfumery, the scent is typically recreated using natural isolates or synthetic molecules, as direct extraction yields minimal aromatic material.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use borage primarily as a green accent in top and heart notes, lending freshness and a dewy quality to compositions. It pairs well with other green notes, watery florals, and light citrus, enhancing naturalistic and garden-inspired fragrances.
