Aromatic
Although the word "aromatic" often evokes gastronomy and is recognized for its therapeutic properties, aromatic herbs have also long been used in perfumery. This olfactory origin, derived from aromatic extraction, is classified among the citrus, menthol, camphor, anise, and lavender notes. Also called "agreste," the aromatic family is associated with fresh and invigorating citrus notes or warmer, more assertive spicy notes. Olfactory combinations within the aromatic family include thyme, star anise, chamomile, tea, tarragon, mugwort, basil, labdanum (cistus), sage, lavender, marigold, rosemary, and peppermint. In the 19th and 20th centuries, colognes were created using aromatics, often lavender, which is an emblematic aromatic plant of the aromatic olfactory family. With their masculine scent, herbal perfumes from the aromatic olfactory family are suitable for people who have a taste for risk but appreciate fresh fragrances.
