Wheat
Wheat brings an earthy, subtly sweet and nutty aroma to fragrances, evoking warmth, comfort, and the rustic charm of golden fields. It has a mild yet grounding scent profile, adding a natural and cozy element to blends. Often used in perfumes with gourmand or woody characteristics, wheat complements notes like vanilla, honey, and spices. This versatile note infuses compositions with an inviting, countryside-inspired depth that resonates with nostalgia and simple elegance.
History & Production: Wheat has been cultivated since ancient times, revered as a symbol of prosperity and sustenance. In perfumery, its essence is extracted through careful distillation processes that capture the grain’s subtle aroma. Due to its mild scent, wheat oil is often combined with other ingredients to strengthen its presence. This note rose in popularity with the trend of using more natural, earthy ingredients in fragrance compositions, aligning with the growing appreciation for comfort scents.
