How the layers join

Origin

Immortelle, also known as Helichrysum italicum, is a flowering plant native to the Mediterranean region. The essential oil is typically obtained through steam distillation of the plant's dried flowering tops. Wild harvesting and cultivation are both practiced, with Corsica and the Balkans being notable sources.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use immortelle primarily in heart and base notes to impart warmth, depth, and a distinctive gourmand-herbal signature. It blends well with amber, tobacco, labdanum, spices, and aromatic herbs, and is often found in oriental, fougère, and gourmand compositions. Its unique profile can anchor and enrich both masculine and feminine fragrances.
