Collection: Rosemary

In order to use rosemary in perfumery and cosmetics, the essential oil must be extracted from the plant's leaves. The manufacturing process begins with the harvesting of rosemary leaves, which must be hand-picked to guarantee the quality of the essential oil. The leaves are then dried and sorted to remove impurities. Steam distillation is the most common method for extracting rosemary essential oil. The dried leaves are placed in a vat and heated with steam. The steam then passes through a cooling coil, where it condenses into an aromatic solution. This solution is then separated into two phases: rosemary essential oil and floral water, which can also be used in cosmetics.

Rosemary's aromatic profile is woody, resinous and slightly spicy. In cooking, it is often used to add a note of freshness to rich, flavorful dishes, such as roasted meats and grilled vegetables. And in the perfume industry, rosemary is used as a base note in woody, aromatic fragrances to add depth and complexity.
