The Story
Eucalyptus in perfumery.
Originating from the eucalyptus tree native to Australia, this note carries a sharp, camphorous scent that is both medicinal and refreshing. Its presence can be felt as a crisp breeze through a grove of trees, invigorating and cleansing the senses with its distinctive aroma.
Perfumers often place eucalyptus in the middle notes to provide a fresh contrast against woody or aromatic bases like musk, amber, cedar, and patchouli. This strategic placement enhances the overall composition by adding a layer of complexity and freshness, making it particularly effective when paired with citrus elements such as bergamot and lemon.
Today, eucalyptus can be found in a variety of notable fragrances, including Bon Parfumeur's 701 eucalyptus, amber, white wood from 2017, which showcases its woody and aromatic facets. Another example is Torino22 by Xerjoff (2022), where it complements the modern, fresh spicy character of the composition.
