About beetroot
The beetroot note in perfumery is distinctive for its earthy, slightly sweet, and vegetal characteristics, reminiscent of the rich soil and fresh sweetness of the beetroot vegetable itself. Originating from the natural essence of beetroot, this note is valued for its unique ability to add depth and an intriguing earthiness to fragrance compositions. While not commonly used, its inclusion can signal a daring and innovative approach to scent creation, offering a grounding effect and a touch of natural sweetness. Beetroot can serve as a middle note, providing a bridge between the top and base notes, and is used in both natural and synthetic forms.
Natural Sources

Synthetic Alternatives
While natural beetroot extracts are used, synthetic versions or molecules designed to mimic its earthy and slightly sweet profile may also be employed to achieve consistency and sustainability in perfumery.
Perfumer's Tips
Use sparingly to introduce an earthy, natural sweetness to a fragrance. Works well as a complement to other earthy or green notes, enhancing the fragrance's depth and complexity without overwhelming the composition.
