Rhubarb in fragrances is known for its crisp and tart character, bringing a unique freshness to scent compositions. This ingredient, often used to represent the essence of spring, adds a green, vegetal quality with a hint of sharpness. The use of rhubarb in perfumery is relatively recent, becoming popular for its ability to impart a vibrant, fresh, and slightly sour note. It is especially favored in contemporary fragrances aiming for a bright and lively profile. Rhubarb pairs well with citrus and floral notes, creating a harmonious blend of freshness and sweetness. Its distinctive character makes it a valuable ingredient for top and middle notes, often used to introduce an initial burst of energy and zest in fragrances.
