green notes

[Guest guest]

this did not get through before....

<Hmmmm...I've not had much success myself with finding a good grass

note.

Hay absolute, while fascinating, has more of a fruit cake or decomposing

grass clippings note to me.....and vetiver is way too deep and musky to

be called " grassy " .

I've had limited success with galbanum, and there's violet leaf

absolute, but apart from that.....

If you want to do an oil infusion, you need to dry the grass

first....which will get rid of most of it's fresh notes. I'd try

alcohol.>

I agree, I think alcohol is the way to go . Speaking of green notes,

I just filtered a Wormwood tincture (with alcohol) from fresh plant

material. It is an amazing clear emerald green and the scent very true

and wonderfully herby! It is indeed a " Green Fairy. I think this would

add a grassy bitter note. I like the violet leaf as well for that

mossy fern garden smell. Other potent green favs - Eastern Cedar and

Myrtle, but they are not " Grassy " . To me Vetiver is very earthy but

not too green, I adore it and use it alot in incense and perfume alike.

good luck with the work....
