Tagete

1 perfumes

Tagete, or marigold, brings a distinctively sharp, herbaceous profile to a composition, characterized by its potent green, fruity, and slightly medicinal nuances. Belonging to the aromatic-floral family, it possesses a unique hay-like bitterness that adds immediate texture and complexity to a fragrance. It pairs exceptionally well with citrus notes like bergamot to brighten its earthy edges or with rich resins to ground its volatile top notes. In the Gulf, tagete is a strategic choice for high-heat climates; its robust, sun-drenched character remains resilient against the humidity of the coast. Arab perfumers often utilize it in modern mukhallats to bridge the gap between traditional spicy profiles and contemporary green accords, providing a sophisticated, bitter-sweet opening that commands attention during evening gatherings or formal outdoor events.
