Origin

Jojoba oil is extracted from the seeds of the Simmondsia chinensis shrub, native to arid regions of North America. The oil is obtained through cold pressing, preserving its natural properties and gentle scent.

Usage in Perfumery

In perfumery, jojoba oil is primarily used as a carrier or diluent rather than a featured note due to its minimal scent. It provides a stable, non-greasy base for essential oils and absolutes, supporting the longevity and clarity of other fragrance ingredients.
