Perfumes with Thyme

Thyme smells warm, sharp and herbal with a slightly medicinal edge, bringing to mind dry Mediterranean hillsides and adding aromatic vigour to a fragrance.

Leaves and flowering tops of Thymus vulgaris and related species are steam-distilled into an essential oil whose main components, thymol and carvacrol, give it both spice and an antiseptic facet. Thyme is used mostly in the heart of a fragrance and often in the opening. It pairs with lavender, rosemary, sage, bergamot, cedar, vetiver and leather, and appears in aromatic and fougère compositions.

Thyme appears in 1,473 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue and is used mostly as a heart note.
