Vegetal Notes in perfumery refer to a broad category of fragrance notes derived from plants but distinct from floral or herbal scents. These notes are reminiscent of fresh, raw, and sometimes green elements of vegetables or non-floral plant parts such as stems, leaves, and roots. Historically, vegetal notes have been used to add freshness, naturalness, and a crisp character to fragrances, enhancing the complexity and giving an earthy depth to scent compositions. The use of vegetal notes can be traced back to traditional perfumery techniques where plant extracts were utilized to mimic the scents of nature and create a sense of open, outdoor spaces.
Natural or Synthetic?
While some vegetal notes can be synthesized, they are primarily sourced naturally to preserve the authentic, fresh green character they are known for. Synthesizing these notes is possible but often lacks the subtle complexity and richness of natural extracts.
