Hawthorn

hawthorn is a cousin of the rosebush with a floral, fruity and voluptuous fragrance

Hawthorn is a small wild shrub. A distant cousin of the rosebush, our ancestors used to pick the small berries for their numerous phytotherapeutic virtues. This plant has been the subject of many legends and beliefs since antiquity. Nowadays, it is better known for the delicate and sweet perfume of its small flowers. Unfortunately, these flowers are mute that is to say that we cannot extract an essence in a natural way. But noses are stubborn and they recreate its smell from different synthetic molecules. Its accord evokes a flowery and humid garden after a summer rain. The hawthorn thus reveals rosy, watery and voluptuous notes which agree with many olfactory formulas.
