Green Notes

Green notes are those that recall the smell of cut grass, both fresh and melting. They can be found in floral, citrus, fruity or chypre fragrances.

These green notes come from natural raw materials such as basil essence, blackcurrant bud absolute, galbanum or violet leaf absolute. A synthetic molecule called "cis-3-hexenol" gives a crisp green facet to many accords such as the very popular "fig leaf" accord.
