About Laurel

Laurel is the bay tree, an evergreen whose glossy leaves have a camphor-tinged, spicy-green aroma. Perfumers use the leaf note for a Mediterranean, herbal feel in the top and heart.

Comme des Garçons Scent Two Laurel, Calvin Klein Man and Escentric Molecules Escentric 05 are perfumes people discuss in the communities Scendira tracks, and each lists laurel. Scent Two Laurel lists bay leaf, Calvin Klein Man lists laurel in the heart, and Escentric 05 lists it at the top with rosemary and basil.

Suits: People who like herbal, peppery, Mediterranean scents. Skip if: a camphor-tinged, peppery green reads medicinal on you.

Laurel sits inside the aromatic perfumes family, and bay leaf perfumes or rosemary perfumes are close relatives.
