ABOUT

Tansy smells sharply bitter-green and camphoraceous with dusty, resinous and faintly floral-honeyed facets, conjuring sunbaked riverbanks, dried herbal bundles and a vintage, medicinal bitterness. Used sparingly in perfumery, it acts as a bitter-green modifier and top-to-heart accent—lending medicinal, camphoraceous and astringent tones—to add herbal complexity, age and an edgy bitter lift to fougère, aromatic, green, woody and leathery accords.

The Green & Herbal fragrance note category encompasses scents that evoke the freshness of nature, often characterized by crisp, leafy, and grassy aromas. These notes can include elements like basil, mint, and green tea, which provide a vibrant, invigorating quality, while also featuring earthy undertones from herbs such as rosemary and thyme. 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.
