Information
Sesame is not a very common note in perfumery, but it can be used to create interesting and unique fragrances. The scent of sesame can be described as nutty, earthy, and slightly sweet. It has a warm and comforting aroma that can evoke feelings of relaxation and well-being.
Sesame oil, which is often used in cooking and cosmetics, is extracted from sesame seeds and has a slightly different scent compared to the raw seeds. Sesame oil has a more subtle, delicate aroma with hints of nuttiness and sweetness. In perfumery, sesame is usually used as a base note to add depth and complexity to a fragrance, and it is often paired with other warm and earthy notes such as sandalwood, patchouli, and amber.
