Description & Scent Profile:
Steam-distilled from the vibrant yellow flowering tops of wild-harvested French Helichrysum italicum, this extraordinary botanical is world-renowned in luxury skincare as "Immortelle" (The Everlasting Flower). Featuring a unique, complex aroma that is warm, honeyed-herbaceous, and tea-like with subtle maple and curry undertones, Helichrysum is exceptionally rich in naturally occurring Neryl acetate, Italidiones, and Gamma-curcumene. Celebrated for its unparalleled restorative properties, it revitalizes mature complexions, smooths the look of uneven texture, calms surface redness, and restores a luminous, youthful glow to skin affected by environmental stressors.
