Sweet acacia, scientifically known as *Vachellia farnesiana* (formerly *Acacia farnesiana*), is a small deciduous tree or shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions. It typically grows to 15-25 feet in height and is characterized by its bright yellow, puffball-like flowers.

The scent profile of sweet acacia is highly valued in the perfume industry for its rich, floral fragrance. The flowers emit a sweet, honey-like aroma with underlying notes of green and spicy elements, making it complex and very appealing. This distinctive fragrance is due to the high concentration of volatile oils present in the flowers, which are often used to produce cassie absolute, a key ingredient in many luxury perfumes.

Sweet acacia's scent is often described as warm, deep, and intense, evoking a sense of tropical lushness and exotic richness. It blends well with various floral, fruity, and woody notes, making it versatile for various fragrance applications. Its aroma is particularly noted for its calming and soothing properties, often used in aromatherapy and scented products designed to relax and rejuvenate.
