About

Tangy, vegetal green

Scent Profile

Tomato leaf has a vivid green aroma with sharp, tangy, and slightly bitter facets. It evokes the scent of freshly crushed leaves, with nuances of stems, earth, and a faint citrusy undertone. The note evolves from an initial burst of freshness to a softer, herbaceous drydown.

What this is made of

Tomato Leaf names no single substance

Reconstructed

Tomato leaf absolute exists but is vanishingly rare; the note as used is a reconstruction, characteristically built on cis-3-hexenol and related green materials.

How the layers join

Origin

This ingredient is typically obtained by extracting the volatile compounds from the hairy leaves and stems of the tomato plant (Solanum lycopersicum), often through solvent extraction or headspace technology. The resulting material is used in both natural and synthetic forms in perfumery.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use tomato leaf primarily as a top or heart note to impart a crisp, naturalistic green effect. It is often blended with citrus, herbal, or floral notes to add freshness and realism, and is valued for its ability to evoke garden or outdoor atmospheres.
