Immortelle presents a warm, sweet, and slightly spicy aroma with pronounced notes of maple syrup, curry, and dried herbs. Its scent evolves to reveal honeyed, hay-like nuances, along with subtle undertones of tobacco and amber. The overall impression is both gourmand and herbal, with a persistent, complex character.
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.
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.
Perfumers known for using Immortelle include Bertrand Duchaufour , Jérôme Epinette , Aurélien Guichard , Christopher Sheldrake , Claire Liégent , and Fabrice Pellegrin .
