Rhum Agricole

Rhum Agricole is a distinctive fragrance note with a rich, boozy, and slightly sweet aroma characterized by grassy, earthy, and fruity undertones. Unlike traditional rum, which is made from molasses, Rhum Agricole is produced from freshly pressed sugarcane juice, giving it a more complex and vibrant scent profile. In perfumes, Rhum Agricole adds warmth, depth, and an exotic, gourmand quality, often used as a middle or base note to evoke a sense of luxury and sophistication. It pairs well with spices, woods, and sweet notes to create rich, dynamic compositions.

History & Production: Originating in the French Caribbean islands, particularly Martinique, Rhum Agricole has a unique production process that sets it apart from other rums. It is made from the juice of freshly harvested sugarcane rather than the byproduct of sugar production (molasses). This method preserves the natural, grassy, and fresh qualities of the sugarcane. In perfumery, the essence of Rhum Agricole is captured using accords that mimic its distinctive boozy and aromatic characteristics. This note is prized for adding a touch of warmth, depth, and a hint of indulgence to fragrances, embodying the exotic allure of the tropics.
