It is celebrated for its freshness and natural green character, often utilized to add a vibrant, lively touch to fragrance compositions. This note is derived from the natural essence of various grass species, capturing the quintessence of the outdoors. Its use in perfumery is both traditional and modern, offering a grounding, earthy element that can transport the wearer to pastoral scenes and open spaces.
