What it smells like

Tarragon presents a sweet, anise-like herbal scent with distinct green nuances. This aromatic herb offers a warm, slightly peppery character like fresh garden herbs with a unique honeyed sweetness that distinguishes it from other green notes.

How it's used in perfumery

Tarragon adds herbal sweetness to fresh green and aromatic accords. It works well with basil, mint, and citrus in top notes, and can provide unexpected warmth in fougère and chypre compositions.

Fun fact

The essential oil of tarragon contains methyl chavicol, the same compound responsible for anise's distinctive aroma.
