Pandan

Pandan contributes a distinctive tropical-green note to perfumery: sweet, creamy, slightly coconut-like with grassy, herbaceous and vanilla facets. Extracts—often absolutes or CO₂ fractions—lend a smooth, edible gourmand quality that brightens florals, vanillas and woody bases. Used as an accent or heartbeat note, pandan bridges green and gourmand families, adding warmth and nostalgia without overt sweetness. In niche compositions it functions as a naturalistic modifier, enhancing authenticity and complexity while offering moderate tenacity and good blending versatility and modern appeal today.
