ABOUT

Snakeroot carries a pungent, rooty aroma with a bitter-green, camphoraceous snap; it is earthy and slightly spicy, recalling ginger and wormwood, with a cool medicinal edge and faint leathery-tobacco undertones that suggest an old apothecary and forest floor. Used sparingly, it lends austere dryness and rooty bite to fougère, chypre, woody, and leather-tobacco compositions, and is commonly recreated through accords (artemisia, angelica or calamus facets, camphoraceous notes, and peppery woods) due to the rarity and regulatory limits of the natural material.
