Lettuce

About

Lettuce has a crisp, watery-green aroma—mildly bitter, dewy and vegetal with a soft cucumber-like freshness rather than a heavy leafy scent—evoking a freshly harvested salad or a cool garden at dawn. In perfumery it’s used sparingly as a modifier to lend transparent, watery freshness and a faint bitter-green edge to aquatics, green florals and modern chypres, often recreated with synthetics and paired with aldehydes, cucumber, galbanum or ozonic notes to add realism and to temper sweetness.
