Note Profile
Scent Profile
Borage has a fresh, green scent with subtle cucumber and herbal nuances. Its aroma is light, slightly watery, and reminiscent of crushed leaves, offering a delicate vegetal character. The note can evolve to reveal faintly earthy and cool undertones.
Origin
Borage is an annual herb native to the Mediterranean region, with its leaves and flowers sometimes used for extraction. In perfumery, the scent is typically recreated using natural isolates or synthetic molecules, as direct extraction yields minimal aromatic material.
Usage in Perfumery
Perfumers use borage primarily as a green accent in top and heart notes, lending freshness and a dewy quality to compositions. It pairs well with other green notes, watery florals, and light citrus, enhancing naturalistic and garden-inspired fragrances.
