Origin

Beetroot is derived from the root of the Beta vulgaris plant, cultivated in temperate regions worldwide. In perfumery, its scent is typically captured through extraction of natural beetroot juice or by using synthetic molecules that replicate its characteristic aroma.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use beetroot primarily as a heart or base note to impart earthy depth and naturalistic complexity. It blends well with woody, green, and spicy notes, and is often used to ground floral or gourmand compositions with an organic facet.
