Origin

Sea Buckthorn oil is extracted from the berries of Hippophae rhamnoides, a shrub native to Eurasia. The oil is obtained through cold-pressing or CO2 extraction, capturing the fruit's aromatic compounds. In perfumery, both the berry oil and absolute may be used, though the latter is less common due to yield and cost.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use Sea Buckthorn primarily as a heart or top note to introduce a realistic, tangy fruitiness to compositions. It pairs well with citrus, tropical fruits, green notes, and certain florals, enhancing freshness and complexity. Its unique profile is valued in naturalistic, fruity, and modern niche fragrances.
