Understanding the material

IFF’s Moroccan oil has a camphor-like opening and greener aromatic body, with a mint-like impression. These are smell descriptions, not claims about cooling the body or improving concentration. Rosemary can contribute a recognisable herbal effect without making the whole fragrance resemble the fresh culinary plant.
