Coriander
Coriander, specifically the seed oil commonly used in perfumery, presents a complex olfactory profile that is simultaneously fresh, green, citrusy, and subtly spicy. It opens with a bright, almost effervescent burst reminiscent of lemon peel or petitgrain, quickly evolving to reveal a warm, slightly woody, and peppery core. There's an underlying herbal greenness, distinct from the leaf (cilantro), which can sometimes lean slightly metallic or even soapy to certain noses, though the seed oil is less prone to this polarizing effect. Its texture is often perceived as dry and clean. It typically functions as a top or heart note, providing initial lift and bridging the gap between bright citrus tops and warmer, spicier, or woody bases. Its intensity is moderate, offering good initial projection that softens into the heart of the fragrance. Longevity is fair for a note of its volatility, often lingering as a subtle spicy-woody nuance.
