Crushed leaves as a fragrance note evoke the fresh, green aroma that emerges when leaves are crumpled or bruised. This note captures the essence of nature and the outdoors, bringing a raw, earthy element to perfumery. The use of crushed leaves in fragrances can be traced back to traditional practices where various leaves were used for their aromatic properties in rituals and early cosmetic products. In modern perfumery, crushed leaves are often represented by notes derived from green plants such as mint, basil, or fig leaves, which are popular for their sharp, vibrant qualities. These notes add a distinct freshness to a fragrance, reminiscent of a damp forest floor or a freshly mowed lawn. They are commonly used to convey a sense of new beginnings and natural purity, making them frequent components in spring and summer collections, as well as in fragrances intended to instill calmness and freshness.
Natural or Synthetic?
