About Lychee Leaf
Lychee leaf is a green note that takes the foliage of the lychee tree as its subject. In fragrance, it offers a way to describe the plant through a leafy impression alongside flowers and woods. The lychee is an evergreen tree with glossy, elongated leaflets, giving the note a botanical reference distinct from the fruit itself.
Scent Profile
The fragrance impression centres on **light, leaf-like freshness**. It can suggest a transparent green outline around softer flowers or brighter spices. The name directs attention towards foliage rather than towards the juicy sweetness associated with lychee flesh. Its degree of greenness, sweetness or sharpness depends on the surrounding accord, so the named note should be understood as one part of a composed scent.
Use in Perfumery
Lychee leaf can give a fresh leafy outline to a floral composition led by rose or geranium. Beside citrus and pink pepper, it supports brightness; alongside patchouli and vetiver, it provides a lighter green link to deeper woods. The term names a fragrance expression as well as its botanical inspiration, and does not by itself specify a single extract taken from the plant.
