Hay

Hay notes are inspired by dried grasses and plants, commonly associated with coumarin extracted from tonka beans or synthesized. In perfumery, the scent is recreated to capture the sweet, dry aroma of sun-cured hay.

Chemistry and Molecular Structure

Hay notes are largely built around coumarin and related aromatic compounds, which provide their sweet, dry, and slightly almond-like scent. These molecules contribute to warmth, softness, and a long-lasting effect in fragrance compositions.
