Tarragon is a warm, fusing note belonging to the fougère family. Its aromatic facets are reminiscent of anise or fresh celery—slightly bitter and intensely green. The presence of estragole in tarragon gives it its anise-esque quality.
With its slightly sweet and pronounced herbaceous aroma reminiscent of star anise, tarragon’s main role is to accentuate the green, aromatic character in chypre and fresh green fragrances. Its aroma is perfect for those who prefer a deeply rooted, botanical smell.
