Лавр

Medicinal, aromatic, sharply herbal. Bay laurel smells like a kitchen apothecary — eucalyptol crispness over warm spice, with a bitter green backbone.

У парфумерії
Top-to-heart aromatic material. Functions in colognes, fougères, and aromatic-spicy compositions. The eucalyptol content provides lift and freshness; eugenol adds warm spiciness. Key material in bay rum accords. Works alongside lavender, clove, cinnamon, and citrus. Moderate fixative value due to eugenol's persistence.
