ABOUT

Tarragon smells intensely green and herbal with a sharp anise‑like licorice facet, a warm peppery bitterness and a faint camphoraceous, metallic edge that evokes a sunlit herb patch or a rustic French kitchen garden. Perfumers use it sparingly as a bright top‑to‑heart modifier to lift fougères, aromatic chypres and herbal accords—pairing well with citrus, lavender, rosemary, basil, vetiver and woods—to add green‑anisic clarity, spicy bite and a slightly medicinal, bitter counterpoint.
