Herbal and green, maté is often used to create fougère notes, or in floral accords to add a green twist. Its slightly phenolic facets blend with warm tobacco nuances to create a smoky, herbaceous scent likened to green tea.
The maté tree is a variety of holly native to South and Central American forests. Maté absolute is mainly produced in France, through an extraction process using volatile solvents and dried leaves. It has a naturally dark color that is often bleached before being used in perfumes. Maté trees are regularly pruned so that it's easier to harvest its leaves.
