FENUGREEK

Fenugreek is a warm, aromatic spice note with a nutty character and a savoury edge. Its seed extracts can move beyond straightforward sweetness: Robertet describes celery-like and nutty facets, while Biolandes highlights hay and chocolate nuances that recall dark tobacco. This mix of food-like warmth and dry herbal detail gives the note a different emphasis from a simple caramel accord.

The plant is Trigonella foenum-graecum, and its seeds are used to produce perfumery absolutes. Robertet’s material is made by solvent extraction followed by purification in alcohol. The scent can bring a spiced, nutty dimension or a drier tobacco-like shading, depending on the material and composition. These facets describe possibilities within the note; they do not identify the formula or promise the same result in every fragrance.
