Hedge

About Hedge

Hedge is a green accord that imagines a living, clipped hedgerow along a garden or roadside. Rather than portraying one particular plant, it describes the overall impression of dense leaves and twigs shaped by the shears: a summer walk past a garden just after someone has been trimming.

Scent Profile

Picture a sharp, **leafy sap** greenness, like the scent that rises when fresh leaves are snipped, layered with a faint woody dryness from small branches. It may feel denser and slightly more bitter than cut grass, and less cooling than mint or other herbs, with a shady, enclosed quality.

Use in Perfumery

A hedge gives flowers or citrus a backdrop of densely gathered leaves. With wild flowers it can suggest the boundary between a garden and open countryside; with dry woods, a garden after pruning. The effect is a small landscape rather than a portrait of one botanical species.
