Cannabis in perfume smells green, resinous and herbal, with a slightly earthy, skunky edge. 100+ perfumes on Scendira list cannabis as a note, and prices run from about $14 to $388.
How Perfumers Handle Cannabis
The cannabis plant is covered in sticky, aromatic resin, and perfumers translate that into a green, herbal, slightly peppery accord rather than a literal extract. A cannabis note is a scent reference, so the list here is fragrance only.
Fresh Cannabis Santal, Maison Martin Margiela Music Festival and Balenciaga Florabotanica are perfumes people discuss in the communities Scendira tracks, and each lists cannabis. Fresh Cannabis Santal and Balenciaga Florabotanica list cannabis in the heart, and Music Festival lists it at the top.
Suits: People who like green, herbal, slightly earthy scents. Skip if: a green, skunky edge reads more plant than perfume to you.
If you like this, try patchouli perfumes or incense perfumes, or step back to aromatic perfumes.
