Green Tea Givco 228 – Givaudan
Anyone expecting a brew in a glass with Green Tea Givco 228 will be surprised: the material does not aim at the taste of the beverage, but at the feeling of a freshly picked, dry tea leaf – airy, clear and unusually diffusive. It is precisely this combination of freshness and transparency that makes the base such a versatile building block for fougère, citrus and contemporary woody compositions.
Green Tea Givco 228 is a proprietary fragrance base by Givaudan, built from specific, partly captive Givaudan molecules.
Odor character
- Green (official sensory profile)
- Dry, leafy tea note with laundry and hay nuances (manufacturer's description)
- Very diffusive and powerful
- Colorless to pale yellow, liquid
Role in the formula
Green Tea Givco 228 is a proprietary base by Givaudan, built from specific Givaudan molecules – not a single substance. It is suited to bringing naturalness to floral compositions and harmonizes well with citrus notes. The base is particularly effective for boosting diffusion in fougère and amber accords.
Use in perfumery
Green Tea Givco 228 is suited to floral compositions that need additional naturalness, to fougère and amber accords, and to citrus compositions. The manufacturer gives no specific dosage recommendation for this material – as with any new aroma material, it is advisable to start with small amounts and increase gradually according to your own scent impression.
Practical note: dissolving, storing, combining
Dissolving: Soluble in common perfumery solvents, practically insoluble in water.
Storing: Store at 10–30 °C, dry and well-ventilated, preferably in full, hermetically sealed containers. Protect from light.
Combining: Proven in combination with herbal, fougère and amber materials as well as with citrus notes.
