ABOUT

Juniper berries, known as "bagas de zimbro" in Portuguese, offer a fresh, crisp, and slightly pine-like aroma with a hint of citrus. This note is often associated with the invigorating scent of gin, as juniper is a key ingredient in the spirit, and it evokes feelings of clarity and briskness. In perfumery, juniper berries are used to add a refreshing and aromatic quality to both men’s and women’s fragrances. They are typically found in woody, aromatic, and fougère compositions, where they enhance the overall complexity and provide a clean, uplifting contrast to heavier base notes.

CATEGORY · AROMATIC / FOUGERE

Aromatic or Fougère notes are characterized by their fresh, herbaceous, and often slightly sweet qualities, evoking the essence of lush greenery and aromatic herbs. This category typically includes scents like lavender, rosemary, and basil, often combined with earthy elements such as moss or oakmoss, creating a complex and invigorating profile. Fougère fragrances are particularly known for their signature blend, which often features a combination of lavender, coumarin (derived from tonka beans), and various green notes, resulting in a fragrance that is both sophisticated and refreshing. These scents are commonly found in men's fragrances, offering a timeless appeal that balances freshness with depth.
