Definicija

Green, soapy, and polarizing. Cilantro smells like crushed leaf stems with a metallic-aldehydic bite — bright and herbaceous for some, overwhelmingly soapy for others, depending on genetics.

Miris

Intensely green and aldehydic — like snapping a fresh herb stem and holding it to your nose. The fatty, waxy aldehydes (decenal, dodecenal) create a soapy brightness that teeters between fresh and abrasive. Underneath, a floral-spicy quality from linalool provides grounding.

Compared to coriander seed oil (predominantly linalool, warm-spicy-floral), cilantro leaf oil is rawer, greener, more pungent — a wild herb versus a clean spice. Compared to parsley, cilantro is brighter and more aldehydic, less earthy. The material divides people by their genetics, not their taste.

Detaljno

Cilantro in perfumery refers specifically to the leaf and stem of Coriandrum sativum — the same plant whose dried seeds produce coriander oil, an entirely different aromatic material. The distinction matters: coriander seed oil is predominantly linalool (62-77%), clean and floral-spicy. Cilantro leaf oil is dominated by unsaturated aldehydes — (E)-2-decenal (16-47%), decanal (5-19%), (E)-2-dodecenal (4-9%) — which create its characteristic pungent, green, and controversial aroma.

The controversy is genetic. A variant on chromosome 11 (in the OR6A2 olfactory receptor gene cluster) causes roughly 4-14% of the population to perceive cilantro as intensely soapy, metallic, or similar to of crushed bugs. For the rest, cilantro reads as bright, fresh, green, and appetizing. This makes it a subjective raw materials in perfumery.

The aldehydic profile — particularly the (E)-2-decenal and (E)-2-dodecenal — gives cilantro leaf oil its fatty, waxy, slightly soapy character. These same aldehydes are responsible for the characteristic green pungency of the fresh herb. Decanal contributes a slightly citrusy, waxy sweetness. The linalool content (12-30%) provides a floral bridge to the seed oil's character.

In fragrance, cilantro leaf oil is rare and specialized. It appears in green-herbal accords, some gourmand compositions seeking culinary authenticity, and avant-garde niche fragrances that embrace polarizing ingredients.

Dobijanje i hemija

Način dobijanja

Essential oil is steam-distilled from the fresh aerial parts (leaves and stems) of Coriandrum sativum. The oil is pale yellow to yellow-green. Yield is low, typically 0.1-0.4% on fresh herb weight — substantially lower than coriander seed oil yield. This low yield and the delicate, easily degraded aldehyde content make cilantro leaf oil relatively expensive. Major producers include India, Egypt, and Russia. CO2 extraction can preserve more of the volatile aldehyde fraction but is not standard commercial practice.

U parfemima

Cilantro leaf oil is a top-note accent used at very low concentrations (0.1-0.5%) to provide green, herbaceous brightness with an aldehydic edge. It can sharpen citrus accords, add authenticity to herbal-culinary compositions, and introduce a provocative, polarizing green note in avant-garde formulations. It works in citrus, amber, herbaceous, green, and spice-gourmand accords. The fatty aldehydes provide a particular waxy green character unlike any other herb oil. Due to the genetic perception divide, cilantro must be dosed with awareness that it will read differently to different wearers. Cilantro is not featured in any current PREMIEREPEAU fragrance.
