The Story
Broom in perfumery.
Broom, derived from the broom plant, is a note characterized by its honeyed, slightly green scent with hints of hay. Originating from the sunny meadows where brooms grow wild, this note captures the essence of sun-drenched fields and brings a natural warmth to fragrances.
In perfumery, broom often occupies the heart or base notes, providing depth and a subtle sweetness that enhances floral accords without overpowering them. It is frequently paired with vanilla for a warm, comforting effect; musk to add sensuality; bergamot for freshness; jasmine and orange blossom for floral richness; and amber to create an enveloping warmth.
Today, broom can be found in notable fragrances like Tilia by Marc-Antoine Barrois, which offers a fresh take on the note, and En Passant by Frederic Malle, where it adds depth to its woody heart. Other examples include Jasmin Rouge by Tom Ford, Bee by Zoologist Perfumes, Jubilation 40 Man by Amouage, and Fantasy Intimate Edition by Britney Spears.
