Rhum Agricole
Note Profile
About
Rhum agricole is the cane-juice style of rum, and the note follows the drink. It is grassy and boozy at once: fresh-pressed sugarcane over spirit warmth, with none of the caramel and oak that the plain rum note carries.
Scent Profile
Rhum agricole smells grassy and boozy at once, fresh-pressed sugarcane over a spirit warmth, with none of the caramel or oak a plain rum note carries. A sweet, sugar-water note runs through it rather than a cooked caramel one. A herbaceous background sits alongside the grass, pleasant and green rather than sharp.

Read off the wheel, not a label applied to the note.

Origin
A fantasy accord, not a material. Rhum agricole is distilled from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses. No house sells a rhum-agricole-specific base. Two perfumery glossaries describe the character and a rum-review site supplies the drink's actual nose.
Usage in Perfumery
Used where a boozy note is wanted without the dark-sugar weight of rum. Fragrantica records 11 perfumes and files it under Beverages as 'a fantasy note of sugarcane juice rum'. Parfumo does not carry the term.
