Cognac White Extra Essential Oil
Adam Michael has this to say “The aroma is bursting full of dry wine, tartness and very fruity- dry floral qualities, and I must add that it is very well rounded, fulsome, with no harshness or fatty aspects throughout. I do prefer the green cognac over this white material because I find the aroma of the green cognac more interesting, quirkier and fun. Within perfumery and in trace amounts white cognac pairs very well with methyl anthranilate to create a super grapey-wine note, also useful in trace amounts added to floral accords, imparting sparkle and sophistication and personally I look to this material for adding “pretty effects” within Oriental floral themed compositions.
Produced by steam distilling the aromatically rich by product of cognac – dried fermented and distilled grape tissue, clear in colour to pale yellow and of a pourable viscosity.”

On of my favourite materials. A wonderful balance between fruity and boozy…. and i mean real boozy! Very few materials have a true boozy note, but this is such a clear and pronounced aroma, and it works such wonders with florals and fruits.

It is indeed a boozy note and a strong bedfellow to use so I recommend working in dilution (say 10%, or even 5%) to trial it and get to know it. As the earlier reviewer said, it pares exceptionally well with florals; in my case with the more narcotic white florals, like jasmine sambac. I find it works amazingly with white rose too, as the lemon edge of that rose works a treat with the boozy grape scent of the cognac. An oil that has limitless potential once you get to know it.

One of the key ingredients in making a cognac/brandy accord and also as Adam mentioned, a grape one. It’s not that boozy as the green one, a little more tempered and well rounded, not that harsh, easier to work with compared to the green one. It adds lift to compositions, I personally haven’t tried it with florals but paired with Oakwood CO2, Vanilla Oleoresin and Benzoin Resinoid will give a nice brandy composition.
