Plate. Spritz. Eat.

How it works.

Use Fin. the same way you'd use fresh herbs, citrus, pepper or a final drizzle of oil. 

1. Plate your favourite dish.

Fin. was created to complement the dishes you already cook and eat! All you need to do is plate up. 

2. Spritz Fin. 

Hold 20-30cm above your dish and press the atomiser down to release a full mist of Fin. Karlie recommends three sprays for maximum flavour.

3. Eat immediately.

Enjoy the lift of herbs, citrus and spice on everything from schnitzels to sandwiches, and even schnitzel sandwiches!

What’s inside Fin.?

Lemon Oil

(bright citrus lift)

Lemon oil provides initial lift – bright, clean citrus that awakens the palate.

Basil Oil

(fresh and herbaceous)

Basil oil brings the sweetness and freshness of basil, giving the blend its green, garden-herb character.

 

Oregano Oil

(savoury herbal depth)

Oregano oil adds warmth and savoury depth, grounding the lemon and basil.

Celery Seed Oil

(earthy foundation)

Celery seed oil adds a subtle savoury edge that rounds out the blend.

Lime Oil

(sharp citrus snap)

A bright, aromatic opening, adding freshness without the acidity of lime juice.

Tarragon Oil

A familiar, elegant note with a gentle aniseed edge, providing a distinct savoury freshness.

Black Pepper Oil

(clean savoury heat)

Brings spice and structure, adding a dry pepper finish with added complexity.

Organic Coconut (MCT) Oil

(neutral carrier)

MCT oil acts as the neutral, flavourless, base dispersing the blend in a fine, even mist.

About Karlie Verkerk

Fin. was created by MasterChef Australia finalist and former Gourmet Traveller Deputy Editor Karlie Verkerk.

 

As someone who believes the finishing touch can make a dish, Karlie became obsessed with a simple question: why is it so hard to have fresh herbs on hand when you need them?

 

What began as a search for a better garnish became something entirely new. Inspired by the world of fragrance, Karlie spent months experimenting with culinary essential oils to create a fresh, aromatic spritz designed to be applied just before serving. 

 

The result was Fin. – a fragrance for food.

FAQs

Question time!

What exactly is food fragrance?

Food fragrance is a sprayable garnish for finished dishes – a fine mist of culinary essential oils containing herbs, citrus and spice, designed to add flavour and aroma just before eating.

Can I eat it and when do I use it? 

Yes! Fin. is made for food, and uses organic MCT oil to carry culinary essential oils. It is designed to be spritzed over finished dishes – a little or a lot. 

Is it a perfume?

No, it's not a perfume. However, it's 100% pure essential oils and organic MCT oil, so if you like using MCT oil on your skin, you're free to use Fin. 

How much should I use?

Our suggested serving size is three sprays over a finished dish, approximately 0.45ml of Fin. with 3.6 kcals per serve. You can always add another spritz if you want more aroma and flavour. If you want to experiment with a new dish, do a small spray over a single bite to try. 

Does it need to be refrigerated?

No. Store Fin. in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

How long does one bottle last?

A little goes a long way. Each bottle is designed to finish hundreds of dishes, depending on how many sprays you use. It should last you 3-6 months. 

Can I cook with it?

Fin. is made for finished dishes not marinating. For best results, spritz after cooking or plating so the aromatics stay fresh.

Are the essential oils food safe? 

Yes. The essential oils used in Fin. are selected for food and beverage use and comply with Food Standards Australia New Zealand labelling requirements.
