Crataegus monogyna

Hawthorn is a hedgerow shrub that covers itself in spring with small white flowers in clusters. Their scent is at once almondy, honeyed and slightly aniseed, with an animalic edge as the flower fades. The flower yields no usable essence: the perfumer recreates its scent, often with aniseed and almond notes.
What it brings
A spring floral freshness, almondy and slightly aniseed.
