Herbs
Herbal notes are the essence of natural freshness in perfumery, bringing an invigorating green energy to a composition. Inspired by aromatic plants such as basil, rosemary, sage, thyme, and mint, they capture the scent of sun-warmed leaves and open air — crisp, clean, and full of life.
Their aroma is fresh, earthy, and slightly spicy, offering both brightness and grounding depth. Used primarily as top or heart notes, Herbal tones open a fragrance with clarity and lightness, cutting through sweetness or heaviness to create balance and lift. They are a bridge between nature and sophistication, lending authenticity and freshness to modern scents.
Perfumers often use Herbal notes to enrich aromatic, woody, and fougère compositions. They blend beautifully with citrus and green accords for vibrancy, or with lavender, vetiver, and oakmoss for structure and depth. When paired with amber or musk, Herbal tones take on a smooth, elegant warmth that feels timeless and refined.
Emotionally, Herbal notes evoke calm, focus, and renewal. Their scent feels clean, grounding, and naturally energising — like a deep breath of fresh countryside air.
In modern perfumery, Herbal notes represent purity and vitality. Their aromatic freshness and earthy realism add dimension and sophistication to any fragrance, embodying the perfect balance between nature’s simplicity and elegant perfumery craft.
