Hay
The scent of hay is primarily dry, warm, and intensely grassy, carrying the essence of sun-baked fields after the harvest. It possesses a unique sweetness, often described as coumarinic, reminiscent of vanilla, almond, or even dried tobacco leaf, but with an earthy, slightly dusty undertone. Its texture is perceived as dry and warm, sometimes with a subtle prickliness like dried stalks. The intensity is typically moderate, providing a grounding presence rather than an overwhelming burst. As a note, it tends to evolve from a fresher, greener grassiness towards a richer, sweeter, and more tenacious dry-down. It functions primarily as a heart or base note, lending warmth, structure, and a rustic depth to compositions. Projection is usually moderate, creating a comforting aura, while longevity is good, particularly due to the presence of coumarin.
