Herbal Fragrances

A herbal accord suggests aromatic plants, crushed leaves, garden herbs, and apothecary ingredients rather than sweet flowers or fruit. It can smell fresh, green, savory, bitter, camphoraceous, minty, or tea-like, depending on the herbs emphasized. Lavender, sage, rosemary, basil, thyme, mint, tarragon, chamomile, artemisia, and clary sage are common references. In fragrance, herbal notes bring clarity and natural texture to colognes, aromatics, fougères, green florals, woody scents, and niche compositions. They pair well with citrus, woods, moss, spices, musk, tea, incense, and lavender. The effect can feel calming and botanical, brisk and clean, culinary and unusual, or dry and medicinal.
