Herbs

Herbs are aromatic plants that are commonly used in cooking, perfumery, and traditional medicine. They often have a fresh, green, and sometimes slightly pungent aroma. Herbs can come from various parts of the plant, including leaves, stems, flowers, and seeds. Many popular herbs like lavender, rosemary, and thyme are prized for their versatility and distinctive scents.

Herbs can evoke a sense of freshness, vitality, and natural purity. They are often associated with home-cooked meals, herbal remedies, and relaxing environments. Fragrances featuring prominent herbal notes can create a calming, grounding, and restorative effect. Herbs work well in both casual, everyday scents as well as more sophisticated, complex perfumes.

Herbs are commonly used as top, middle, and base notes in perfumery. They can add freshness, green accords, and earthy depth to fragrances. Popular herbal notes include lavender, rosemary, thyme, basil, mint, and sage. Herbs are frequently paired with floral, citrus, and woody notes to create balanced, natural-smelling scents. They are found in a wide range of fragrance families, from clean colognes to sophisticated chypres.
