This supercritical CO₂ extract of the root captures that quiet, rooty character in concentrated form — a genuine curiosity for perfumers who enjoy working with unusual earthy materials rather than the familiar roots such as vetiver and orris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a gentle material by nature, so we supply it at a generous 50% in natural TEC (triethyl citrate) — an odourless carrier that makes it easy to measure and dose while keeping its dry, earthy character clearly present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScent Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMild, herbaceous and earthy, with a dry, slightly bitter edge.
