Aromatic Herbs
The note of Aromatic Herbs unfolds as a verdant, multifaceted tapestry, typically presenting a crisp, bracing initial burst that evolves into a more nuanced, earthy heart. It often carries a distinct herbaceous coolness, sometimes with a camphorous bite (like rosemary or eucalyptus), a peppery warmth (thyme, oregano), or a sweet, floral undertone (lavender, sage). Its texture can range from sharp and invigorating, almost spiky, to soft and velvety, like crushed leaves. Projection is often moderate to strong in the opening, lending an immediate sense of freshness and vitality, before settling closer to the skin with a gentle, lingering sillage. It typically performs as a top to heart note, providing an uplifting, clean introduction and bridging the gap between fleeting citrus and deeper woody or resinous accords. Longevity is variable, with some components dissipating quickly while others, especially the more resinous or musky herbal facets, can persist for hours, grounding the composition.
