Aromatic Perfumes: green plants, sage, rosemary and lavender

What is an aromatic perfume?

The aromatic family is a heritage family, inherited from masculine perfumery of the late 19th and 20th centuries (Caron Pour Un Homme, 1934). It brings together perfumes whose dominant accord is built around herbaceous and Mediterranean plants — clary sage, rosemary, lavender, basil, mint, thyme, artemisia. A tonic and virile family, often associated with hesperidic accords (aromatic-hesperidic), fougère (aromatic-fougère) or woody (aromatic-woody).

At Soleil d'Or, you can explore this family across the catalogue, including notable signatures at Caron Pour Un Homme, Caron Les Énergisants, Goutal Eau d'Hadrien and Caron Les Passionnés (Yatagan).
