salvia sclarea water

Salvia sclarea water is a botanical distillate obtained from the clary sage plant, Salvia sclarea L. It appears as a clear liquid characterized by a distinctive herbal odor and flavor profile, commonly described as fresh and aromatic with green, slightly musky herbal notes. Known by synonyms such as clary sage water, nutmeg sage water, and extracts identified as Salvia asperata water or Salvia pamirica water, it belongs to a class of fragrance materials derived from aromatic plants. This compound is referenced in scientific databases such as the PubChem database for chemical and sensory details. Typically, Salvia sclarea water is procured by aqueous distillation or extraction from the flowering tops of the plant, making it a natural source used predominantly in perfumery and flavoring formulations.

Salvia sclarea water naturally occurs in the flowering parts of the clary sage plant, Salvia sclarea, a perennial herb native to the Mediterranean and parts of Central Asia. Its aromatic constituents contribute to the plant's characteristic scent and have found applications as flavor and fragrance agents in consumer products. Due to its herbal sensory profile, it is utilized in perfumery to impart fresh, green, and herbal notes. Additionally, it serves as a flavor modifier in food and beverage formulations. The material's use is aligned with international regulatory frameworks, including the IFRA (Global) standards, which provide guidance for safe incorporation in fragrances and related applications.

Salvia sclarea water is a distillate with herbal aromatic characteristics predominantly influenced by volatile compounds soluble in water. Its clear, hydrophilic nature facilitates formulation in aqueous-based systems and provides versatility across flavor and fragrance applications. The herbal odor arises from a complex mixture of monoterpenes and related aromatic substances, which typically exhibit moderate volatility and stability under ambient conditions. These physico-chemical properties enable its integration into perfumes, cosmetic products, and flavor formulations where a natural herbal note is desired, without imparting strong solvent interference or instability. However, its composition may vary depending on the source plant chemotype and extraction method, influencing sensory impact and shelf life.
