Broom

Broom is a warm and aromatic fragrance note with a rich, slightly honeyed scent that carries subtle hay-like, earthy, and floral undertones. Its scent profile is complex and natural, adding a unique, rustic quality to perfumes. Broom imparts depth and a touch of sweetness, often used as a middle or base note to create an inviting and textured composition. It pairs well with florals, resins, and woody notes, contributing to fragrances that are warm, sophisticated, and evocative of sunlit landscapes.

History & Production: Broom comes from the blossoms of the broom plant (Genista or Spartium species), which is native to parts of Europe and the Mediterranean region. The flowers have been used in traditional medicine and for their aromatic qualities for centuries. The absolute is typically obtained through solvent extraction of the flowers, yielding an essence with a warm, rich aroma. In perfumery, broom is valued for its ability to add a natural, slightly sweet depth that enhances the character of both modern and classic fragrances, evoking images of warm meadows and golden fields.
