Origin
Sage essential oil is typically steam-distilled from the leaves of Salvia officinalis, a perennial herb native to the Mediterranean region. The plant is cultivated in various temperate climates for both culinary and perfumery uses.
Usage in Perfumery
Perfumers use sage primarily in the top and heart notes to impart aromatic freshness and complexity, often pairing it with citrus, lavender, or woody notes. It is valued for adding a natural, herbal dimension to fougère, chypre, and aromatic compositions.
