Senecio

About Senecio

Senecio is a perfume note derived from plants of the genus Senecio in the Asteraceae family. Species native to South America, particularly the Patagonian region, are known for their aromatic leaves and stems, which yield a fresh green herbal scent with subtle woody and earthy undertones. In perfumery, it is sometimes used to evoke the atmosphere of wild landscapes and mountainous terrain.

Scent Profile

The scent of Senecio is centered on a green note reminiscent of fresh leaves, with a cooling quality similar to mint or eucalyptus, combined with dry woody and earthy facets. It is not overly assertive on its own and blends harmoniously with other botanical notes.

Use in Perfumery

Senecio is primarily used in masculine and unisex fragrances, often in the top to middle notes. It pairs well with woody notes such as cedar and vetiver, or herbal notes like lavender and rosemary, to create scents that evoke the outdoors and a sense of adventure.
