About Ravensara
Ravensara is a name associated with an aromatic plant from Madagascar. In fragrance materials it can also refer to an essential oil obtained from leaves and twigs. A note name in a perfume does not, on its own, establish the material or extraction method used.
Scent Profile
Some ravensara essential oils have an aromatic, spicy character with a hint of sweetness. The impression in a perfume varies with the material and the other notes around it.
Use in Perfumery
Ravensara can bring an aromatic accent to the opening of a fragrance. Mendittorosa lists it as a top note in both Alfa and Id.
A similar name, ravintsara, can refer to a different plant. The names have been confused in commerce, so botanical identity and fragrance materials need to be checked carefully.
