Often associated with vitality and freshness, herbal notes can create a sense of clarity and well-being. Typically, these notes find their place in various fragrance families, including fougère, aromatic, and even some citrus blends. In perfumery, herbal notes often function as refreshing top notes or as grounding heart notes, beautifully balancing sweeter or deeper components in a scent.
