Vermouth
Vermouth is a warm and aromatic fragrance note with a complex, herbaceous scent profile that carries subtle spicy, bitter, and slightly sweet undertones. Its aroma is rich, sophisticated, and slightly boozy, adding a unique, refined quality to perfumes. Vermouth imparts a smooth, earthy character and is often used as a middle or base note to create depth and warmth in fragrance compositions. It pairs beautifully with woody, floral, and citrus notes, contributing to fragrances that are elegant, mysterious, and full of character.
History & Production: Vermouth is a fortified wine traditionally flavored with a blend of botanicals, including herbs, spices, and roots, originating in Europe. In perfumery, vermouth’s scent is recreated using synthetic accords or combinations of herbal and aromatic notes to capture its distinctive, bittersweet aroma. Vermouth notes are prized for their ability to add a rich, complex depth that enhances the sophistication and warmth of fragrances, evoking a sense of luxury and old-world charm.
