Genet/Broom

Genet, also known as broom, is a warm and earthy fragrance note with a slightly sweet, honeyed scent profile that carries subtle herbal and green undertones. Its aroma is rich, natural, and slightly wild, adding a rustic and warm quality to perfumes. Genet imparts a soft, golden character and is often used as a middle or base note to create depth and an inviting warmth in fragrance compositions. It pairs beautifully with woody, floral, and resinous notes, contributing to fragrances that are earthy, sensual, and full of character.

History & Production: Genet, or broom (Spartium junceum), is native to the Mediterranean region and has long been valued for its rich, aromatic flowers. The scent is typically extracted through solvent extraction to capture its unique, warm aroma. In perfumery, broom is prized for its ability to add a soft, sweet depth that enhances the rustic and natural quality of fragrances, evoking a sense of wild landscapes and golden warmth.
