rhododendron

What it smells like

Rhododendron carries a green‑resinous scent, waxy and leathery, with a cold, alpine crispness. A faint sweet‑toxic edge lingers, suggesting caution beneath the beauty. Its character feels cool, sharp and austere, like wind over mountain peaks. Perfumers employ it to inject a crisp, high‑altitude green note into green‑resin or alpine‑themed accords, creating a refreshing, slightly medicinal counterpoint to softer florals.
