Perfumes with grass

Grass smells sharp, green, sappy and slightly sweet, like a freshly mown lawn, giving a fragrance a crisp outdoor freshness and a natural feeling of spring.

Grass yields no usable extract, so the note is built from cis-3-hexenol, known as leaf alcohol, and related green molecules. Together they evoke cut-grass sap, crushed leaves and damp soil. Grass sits mainly in the heart of a fragrance and often in the opening. It pairs with citrus, green tea, hyacinth, violet leaf, vetiver, mint and white musks.

grass appears in 767 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue and is used mostly as a heart note.
