Hay

Hay is the dried, cured grass or legumes used as animal fodder. It has a warm, earthy, and slightly sweet aroma reminiscent of a freshly mown meadow. Hay is a natural, agricultural material that is commonly used in perfumery to evoke a rustic, pastoral scent.

Fragrances featuring hay notes evoke a sense of coziness, comfort, and nostalgia. They can create a relaxing, pastoral atmosphere and are well-suited for casual, everyday wear. Hay-based scents work particularly well in the fall and winter months, evoking a warm, rustic ambiance.

Hay is commonly used as a base note in fragrances, providing a warm, comforting, and natural foundation. It is often paired with other earthy, woody, or floral notes to create rustic, countryside-inspired scents. Hay is a frequent ingredient in chypre, fougère, and oriental-style perfumes.
