Herbal Notes
The spectrum of this note is vast and verdant, ranging from the invigorating, sharp clarity of crushed peppermint leaves to the dry, aromatic warmth of sun-baked rosemary. It can present as bright and effervescent, almost sparkling with a zesty greenness, or delve into darker, more rooty, and earthy territories, reminiscent of damp soil and ancient forests. Some facets offer a herbaceous piquancy, a slightly bitter edge like artemisia or galbanum, which can feel both ancient and bracingly modern. Others are distinctly camphoraceous and medicinal, recalling eucalyptus or menthol, providing an immediate, cooling sensation. The intensity varies wildly; a delicate basil whispers freshness, while a robust sage can command attention with its leathery, almost leathery-green projection. As a top note, it is often effervescent and uplifting; in the heart, it grounds and blends, lending a natural, often savory or aromatic character; and certain deep, resinous herbs can even contribute a subtle, lingering greenness to a base.
