Origin

Chia seeds are harvested from Salvia hispanica, a flowering plant native to Central and Southern Mexico. In perfumery, chia seed oil is obtained through cold-press extraction, preserving its delicate aromatic profile.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use chia seed primarily as a supporting note in the heart or base, where it adds a subtle green nuance and smooth texture. It blends well with other herbal, woody, and soft floral notes, contributing to naturalistic and modern compositions.
