Herbs, in the context of fragrances, encompass a broad category of aromatic plants used for their fresh, earthy, and sometimes spicy scents. This category includes popular herbs like rosemary, thyme, basil, sage, and mint, among others. The use of herbs in perfumery dates back to ancient times, when they were valued not only for their medicinal properties but also for their aromatic qualities. Herbs add a natural and invigorating aspect to fragrances, often imparting a green and lively aroma that complements floral and citrus notes. In modern perfumery, herbal notes are used to create scents that are fresh, clean, and reminiscent of a garden in bloom. Herbs are commonly found in unisex and masculine fragrances, adding a refreshing and invigorating component to the overall scent profile.
Natural or Synthetic?
Herbs are often extracted for their essential oils, which can be costly due to the labor-intensive process. However, synthetic versions are also used to replicate specific herbal scents when extraction is challenging or expensive.
