Nettle

Nettle is a green, herbaceous plant with a distinctive stinging quality. It grows wild in many parts of the world and has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and textiles. The scent of nettle is earthy, green, and slightly pungent, with a hint of bitterness.

Fragrances featuring nettle tend to evoke a sense of freshness, vitality, and natural energy. The scent can be invigorating and uplifting, making it suitable for daytime wear or active lifestyles. Nettle-based perfumes may also have a slightly medicinal or herbal quality that can be grounding and calming.

Nettle is often used as a green, herbal note in perfumes, particularly in chypre, fougère, and woody fragrances. It can add a fresh, verdant quality and help to balance richer, sweeter notes. Nettle is commonly found in the heart or base notes of a fragrance composition.
