Акмела
A tingling, numbing herb with a sharp green-peppery scent. Jambu smells like watercress crossed with Sichuan pepper, with the same electric buzzing sensation on the tongue.

Спосіб отримання
The plant can be extracted or distilled but is not commercially produced for the fragrance industry. Spilanthol extracts are used in cosmetics (for their anti-wrinkle tingling effect) rather than perfumery. The note is typically a fantasy accord.

У парфумерії
Jambu is a fantasy modifier in Amazonian, spicy-green, and innovative compositions. It provides sharp green-peppery character with a particular tingling-electric quality. Built from green-peppery materials, watercress-type molecules, and sharp aromatic modifiers. The spilanthol association adds a unique sensory dimension that conventional spice notes lack.
