Description

Gingergrass is a fragrant natural material obtained from a Cymbopogon grass, valued in perfumery for its fresh, green and spicy aromatic character. Despite its name, it is not the same as ginger and does not primarily smell like the ginger root. Its profile can feature lemony, herbal, grassy, earthy and slightly woody nuances, creating a crisp yet warm natural impression.

In perfumery, Gingergrass is useful for creating fresh herbal, green, woody, citrus and earthy accords. It can bring a naturalistic freshness to compositions while adding subtle warmth and complexity. It pairs particularly well with citrus oils, vetiver, cedarwood, patchouli and other aromatic materials. It can also contribute to traditional Indian-style fragrance compositions and natural perfume structures.

Perfumers' Tip

Gingergrass is excellent for adding a natural green, lemony and earthy freshness to a composition. Pair it with Vetiver and Cedarwood for a dry woody accord, or combine it with citrus and herbal materials for a fresh aromatic fragrance with an earthy Indian character.
