Chayote, a type of gourd native to Mesoamerica, is occasionally used in fragrances for its subtle, vegetal scent. Its aroma has a fresh, crisp quality, which can add a touch of green to fragrance compositions. Chayote has been cultivated for centuries in Central America, and its use in perfumery, though less common, brings a unique note to aromatic profiles. The light and delicate fragrance of Chayote can balance heavier notes, lending a clean and refreshing undertone to a perfume blend.

Natural or Synthetic?
The exact form in which Chayote is used in perfumery is not widely documented. It may be used in synthetic or natural forms, depending on the desired fragrance profile. Given its unique vegetal aroma, it could be included to provide a fresh and crisp element in a variety of fragrance compositions.
