What is ScentArt?

Origin

Rush is the common name for Juncus, the wetland grass-like plants of wet meadow, bog and moor. Which Juncus species supplies the perfumery material could not be established, and no source states whether the note is a real extract or a reconstructed accord. The one product page found places it in a wet-grassland accord alongside crushed sedges, grass stems, bog myrtle and peat.

Usage in Perfumery

Rush is a supporting green note in wet-meadow and moorland accords. Parfumo tracks it in 6 perfumes across 3 brands, first in 2005 and last in 2018. The one product page found puts it in the top note among crushed sedges and grass stems, over wild flowers, water mint and a base of rain-soaked moss, ferns and peat.
