Pandan
Note Profile
Scent Profile
Pandan has a distinctive green, slightly nutty aroma with creamy, vanilla-like undertones and a hint of freshly cut grass. Its scent is simultaneously leafy and gourmand, with subtle coconut facets that become more pronounced over time. The note evolves from bright, fresh greenness to a soft, sweet finish.
Origin
Pandan is derived from the leaves of the Pandanus amaryllifolius plant, native to Southeast Asia. The leaves are typically distilled or extracted to obtain the aromatic compounds used in perfumery.
Usage in Perfumery
Perfumers use pandan primarily in the heart or top of compositions to impart a unique green-gourmand character. It blends well with floral, woody, and creamy notes, and is often used to evoke exotic, edible, or tropical accords.
