Part of our Professional Perfumers Range — curated for the discerning natural perfumer seeking exceptional depth and rarity. Ginkgo Leaf CO₂ Extract — A Living Fossil in a Bottle The ginkgo is among the oldest tree species on Earth, a survivor from the age of the dinosaurs that still stands in temple gardens and city streets today. This extract captures the leaf of Ginkgo biloba by supercritical CO₂ extraction — a gentle, solvent-free method that keeps the plant's aromatic character intact. The result is a greenish-golden extract with a herbaceous character, offered here for natural perfumers and formulators who enjoy working with unusual botanical materials and want to explore the rarely seen scent of the ginkgo leaf. Scent Profile Herbaceous and green, with the dry, leafy character of a freshly crushed leaf. Evaluate it on a blotter and at low dilution to appreciate its full character. Perfumery Applications Suited to green, herbal and woody compositions, where it can add a natural leafy note. It can also be used in natural skincare and botanical formulations. Blending Suggestions Pairs well with other green and woody materials, such as violet leaf, galbanum, vetiver, cedarwood, oakmoss, tea absolutes and fig leaf.
