Sourced from Salvia lavandulifolia cultivated in Spain, this essential oil is steam distilled from leaves and flowering tops to preserve its clean aromatic profile. Its composition is rich in 1,8-cineole and camphor, with lower thujone content compared to common sage. The opening is fresh, herbaceous, and slightly camphoraceous, offering a clear and invigorating lift. Its diffusion is moderate, with a structured yet smooth transition into the heart. The profile is cleaner and more refined than other sage variants. In perfumery, Spanish sage functions as an aromatic modifier, introducing herbal clarity, freshness, and lift in fougère, aromatic, and functional fragrance compositions.
