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.

Typically, fragrances in this category are light and refreshing, making them ideal for spring and summer compositions. They often convey a sense of vitality and rejuvenation, reminiscent of freshly cut grass or a dewy garden, and are frequently used to create clean, uplifting scents.
