Description
Ginger CO₂ Extract (Zingiber officinale Roscoe)
CO₂ extracted from the fresh rhizomes of Zingiber officinale, this premium botanical extract captures the full aromatic character of fresh ginger with remarkable fidelity. The gentle extraction preserves many of the delicate aromatic compounds that are often reduced during steam distillation, resulting in a richer, fuller and more vibrant fragrance.
Its aroma opens with sparkling fresh ginger before revealing warm spice, delicate citrus brightness and soft earthy sweetness. Fresh and invigorating yet beautifully rounded, Ginger CO₂ adds warmth, energy and natural complexity to perfumes, aromatherapy blends and artisan formulations.
Whether used as a subtle accent or a defining note, Ginger CO₂ brings brightness and sophistication to botanical compositions throughout the year.

History
Zingiber officinale has been cultivated for thousands of years and is one of the world's oldest and most widely traded aromatic plants. Native to Southeast Asia, ginger spread along ancient spice routes into India, the Middle East and Europe, where it became prized not only as a culinary spice but also as a valuable botanical ingredient.
In traditional perfumery, ginger has long been appreciated for its ability to introduce brightness, warmth and lively movement to fragrance compositions. Its fresh spicy character bridges citrus top notes with richer woods, resins and florals, making it an exceptionally versatile ingredient for both classic and contemporary perfumes.
Modern CO₂ extraction preserves the delicate aromatic compounds found in freshly harvested ginger, creating an extract that is remarkably close to the scent of the living rhizome. Today, Ginger CO₂ is valued by artisan perfumers and aromatherapists for its vibrant freshness, elegant warmth and exceptional natural complexity.
