Wet Leaves
Note Profile
About
Wet Leaves is a green-damp accord that suggests foliage after rain, with a crushed-leaf bitterness and a cool, earthy moisture. It is best understood as an atmospheric note rather than a single botanical extract.
Scent Profile
Wet Leaves smells green, damp, and slightly bitter, with the impression of crushed foliage, stem sap, and rain-soaked plant matter. It often leans toward a cool mineral freshness at the top, then settles into mossy, earthy, and leafy tones.

What this is made of
Origin
This is typically built as a fragrance accord rather than extracted from a single raw material. Perfumers usually approximate it with materials such as violet leaf, galbanum, blackcurrant leaf, geosmin-like earthy facets, mossy notes, and watery or ozonic materials.
Usage in Perfumery
Wet Leaves is used to add realism, humidity, and a natural outdoor effect to woody, green, chypre, and rainy compositions. It works well with moss, vetiver, cedar, violet leaf, petrichor, and soft florals when a damp garden or forest impression is needed.
