Sclarene

Sclarene, a sesquiterpene hydrocarbon characterized by its molecular structure, is derived from the essential oils of various plants including Salvia sclarea, commonly known as clary sage. In terms of its scent profile, sclarene contributes a mildly woody and amber note to fragrances. It’s not overwhelmingly strong but has a subtle, resinous quality that enhances depth and complexity in perfumery. Its natural occurrence in clary sage oil means it often carries a hint of the herbaceous, earthy tones typical of the sage family, providing a soothing and mildly intoxicating sensation. Distinct but not overpowering, sclarene is prized for its ability to impart a warm, natural nuance to aromatic blends.
