Rhubarb
Rhubarb stalks give no oil or absolute; the tart, green snap is built from a few sharp lab-made molecules.
- What it is
- Something that grows but gives no oil worth extracting, so perfumers rebuild its smell from other materials.
- How perfumers build it
- Known in
- Infusion de Rhubarbe (Prada, 2025)
- Worth knowing
- Rhubarb's large leaves are poisonous; the note copies the stalk, the part that is eaten.
