About

Polygonum is the knotweed genus. As a note it is green leaf: verdant and foliage-like, with a peppery lift and damp earth under it.

Scent Profile

Polygonum smells green, a leafy, verdant foliage rather than cut grass or a bitter green. Underneath runs a damp, earthy soil note. A slightly peppery lift sits on top, close to water pepper. A faint herbal quality runs through the whole thing, and a soft floral note shows in the small blossoms.

What is ScentArt?

Origin

Polygonum is the knotweed, smartweed and bistort genus, sprawling herbs with hollow stems and small clustered flowers. No supplier datasheet for a polygonum fragrance material was found. The note is a green herbal reconstruction, not a traded extract. Polygonum hydropiper is called water pepper for its pungency, which is where the peppery reading comes from.

Usage in Perfumery

A green filler and lift in leafy compositions. Fragrantica files it under Greens, herbs and fougeres across 8 perfumes. Parfumo shows 3 placements across 3 brands.
