What it smells like

Hay is a dry, sweet note that brings the scent of freshly cut and dried grass. It carries a warm, earthy aroma with subtle sweet undertones and a dry, almost dusty texture. This note captures the essence of summer meadows and sun-dried botanicals.

How it's used in perfumery

Used as a base note, hay adds a dry, green dimension to chypre and fougère compositions. It blends well with other green notes, vetiver, and subtle woody accords, creating a sense of natural texture and warmth.

Fun fact

The distinctive hay-like scent is often attributed to coumarin, a compound naturally found in tonka beans and sweet grass.
