Cool, green, cucumber-fresh. Starflower (borage) oil smells of crushed cucumber peel and wet garden soil -- a vegetal freshness without any floral sweetness.

Запах
Докладно
Цікавий факт
Borage flowers are one of the few truly blue edible flowers. They taste distinctly of cucumber and are traditionally frozen into ice cubes for summer cocktails. The plant is also one of the best bee-attracting herbs -- its nickname in some regions is "bee bread."
Отримання й хімія
Спосіб отримання
Borage seed oil is cold-pressed for cosmetic use (rich in GLA), but not for perfumery. The starflower note in fragrance is a fantasy accord reconstructed from green-cucumber synthetics.

Top note in green, garden-fresh, and aquatic-green compositions. Functions as a cool, cucumber-like green accent. Built from cis-3-hexenol, violet leaf traces, and cucumber-melon molecules. Provides an unusual green freshness that is softer than galbanum and more watery than basil. Useful in spring and garden-themed formulas.
