How Perfumers Use Ivy

Ivy is an evergreen climber with glossy leaves, and the note is composed to bring a crisp, shaded green smell to a fragrance. It is usually used in the top, where it adds a leafy, garden feel without any sweetness.

Among the perfumes people discuss in the communities Scendira tracks, Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin, Marc Jacobs Decadence Eau So Decadent and Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Fig each list ivy. All three list ivy at the top: Au Masculin with aniseed and absinth, Eau So Decadent with nashi pear and blackcurrant, and Green Tea Fig with fig leaf and citron.

Suits: People who like crisp, shaded green scents. Skip if: a shaded, leafy green with no sweetness feels austere on you.
