Information
Olive as a fragrance note is relatively uncommon in perfumery, but there are fragrances that take inspiration from its aroma.
Olives have a distinctive scent that is characteristic of olive oil. They have a sweet and fruity aroma that resembles that of green, unripe fruit. The scent is also slightly woody and green, which makes it unique among other fragrance notes. Olives are typically paired with green or woody notes to accentuate their characteristic scent profile.
In perfumes, the olive fragrance note can be blended with other notes such as citrus, herbs, or woods to create more complex and interesting fragrance compositions. The scent of olives can evoke a sense of exoticism, the Mediterranean, as well as a feeling of freshness and naturalness.
