Mugwort

2 perfumes

Mugwort, or Artemisia, brings a distinctively sharp, herbaceous, and slightly bitter profile to a composition. Belonging to the spicy and aromatic families, its scent is characterized by camphoraceous green facets with a dry, earthy undertone that feels almost medicinal yet sophisticated. In perfumery, it acts as a bridge between fresh top notes and deeper bases, pairing naturally with bergamot in citrus accords or providing a crisp, cooling edge to leathery compositions. Given the intense heat of the Gulf, mugwort is an excellent choice for summer wear; its astringent quality cuts through humidity, offering a refreshing, clean trail that remains composed under the sun. Arab houses frequently utilize this note to temper the richness of heavy resins, adding a refined, sophisticated structure that balances traditional warmth with a modern, bracing vitality.
