Description

Garlic Oil from India is an exceptionally distinctive pungent, sulfurous and green natural material with a powerful characteristic aroma. Unlike conventional floral, citrus or woody ingredients, it belongs to a small group of highly expressive sulfur-containing materials that can influence a fragrance even at very low concentrations.

In perfumery, Garlic Oil is primarily of interest for experimental, green, savory and unconventional fragrance compositions. Used in trace amounts, it can contribute complexity and realism to certain green or vegetable-like accords. It may also be useful when developing unusual naturalistic effects where a highly specific botanical character is required.

Garlic Oil can be explored alongside green and herbal materials such as galbanum, basil, coriander and rosemary. Citrus oils including lemon and bergamot can provide brightness and help frame its intense character, while earthy materials such as vetiver and patchouli can support darker botanical accords.

Due to its very strong odor impact, Garlic Oil should be handled conservatively and evaluated at extremely low levels. The character of a natural garlic material can also vary according to botanical source, processing and extraction conditions. It is best regarded as a special-effect material rather than a conventional fragrance ingredient.

Perfumers' Tip

Garlic Oil is an extremely powerful trace material. Start with a highly diluted solution and add only minute quantities; the goal is usually to create complexity rather than an obvious garlic impression.
