Cognac Green oil
Cognac Green Oil is an essential oil distilled from the lees (fermented residue) of wine production, specifically from the Vitis vinifera (grapevine) species used in Cognac manufacturing. This oil carries a fruity, dry, slightly fermented aroma with green and woody undertones. Its scent is highly prized in fine perfumery and niche cosmetic formulations due to its top-note brightness and subtle complexity.
Beyond perfumery, Cognac Green Oil is used in gourmet food flavoring (in food-grade form), aromatherapy blends, and artisanal products. With its natural origin and distinct organoleptic profile, it offers both aromatic elegance and versatility in applications.
