Used in 79+ fragrances on FragranVerse
What it smells like
Artemisia releases a dry, herbaceous aroma like sage and camphor with subtle green undertones. Derived from various Artemisia species including wormwood and mugwort, this note carries a distinctly medicinal yet fresh character. In perfumery, it adds a crisp, aromatic dimension that brings both herb gardens and forest floors.
How it's used in perfumery
Artemisia serves as a key green note in aromatic and chypre compositions, often paired with lavender, rosemary, and citrus. Its dry, slightly bitter quality provides structure to herbal accords while adding natural freshness. Used sparingly, it can lend complexity to fougeres and masculine fragrances without dominating the composition.
Fun fact
Artemisia has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and as a botanical insect repellent.
