Broom

Broom (Cytisus scoparius), also known as Scotch broom or common broom, is a flowering plant native to Western and Central Europe. This deciduous shrub typically grows up to 2-3 meters in height and is recognized for its vibrant yellow, pea-like flowers that bloom from late spring to early summer. The plant's slender, green stems and small, trifoliate leaves give it a sparse, broom-like appearance, hence its name.

The scent profile of broom flowers is highly regarded for its intense, sweet, and floral aroma, which is reminiscent of fresh vanilla and almond with slight undertones of hay and earth. This rich fragrance intensifies when the flowers are sunniest, filling the air with its delightful, almost tropical-like scent. In perfumery, broom extract is cherished for adding a deep, honeyed, yet slightly green floral note to fragrances, blending well with other floral and herbaceous scents to create a lush, vibrant bouquet. Its distinctive aroma makes it a favorite in aromatic products, from perfumes to scented oils and beyond, celebrated for its evocative and uplifting qualities.
