Clover

Clover is a small meadow plant whose note in perfumery is most often recreated, since no common extract is available. Its soft green, herbaceous and honeyed profile, with a hay facet, evokes flowering meadows and wild nature. It is used in fougères and in green and aromatic accords, bringing a herbaceous freshness and a natural sweetness that are characteristic of it.

Clover, a reconstructed honeyed and meadow-like herbaceous note

Clover is a small herbaceous meadow plant, whose discreet flowers give off a light, honeyed scent perceptible in the fields in summer. However, this plant is not commonly subjected to perfume extraction, and the note bearing its name is most often an olfactory reconstruction imagined by the perfumer. It draws on the olfactory atmosphere of flowering meadows.

The intended olfactory profile combines a soft, herbaceous greenness with a light honeyed facet and accents of dried hay, recalling the scent of meadows in summer. Perfumers build this note from raw materials with a herbaceous, slightly sweet and natural character, in order to recreate the freshness and simplicity of the plant in its environment.

In composition, the clover note is integrated into fougères and into green and aromatic accords, where it brings a herbaceous freshness and a natural sweetness. It naturally pairs with lavender, fougère, fresh wood or green musk notes, contributing to compositions evocative of wild nature and open air.

Its honeyed facet allows it to combine with light floral notes or hay accords, creating compositions with a pastoral, natural aesthetic. Reconstructed clover belongs to a perfumery tradition that values evocations of nature and accords with a herbaceous, meadow-like character.
