Avocado PO
Mainly used as a subtle, green-vegetal, buttery and slightly nutty note.
It is a niche ingredient but is gaining interest among modern perfumers.
Typical scent associations of avocado are green, soft and slightly sweet and earthy.
It does not smell like ripe fruit as in the kitchen, but rather a subtle, buttery greenness with a mild, almost nutty undertone.
As a result, it works well as a soft, natural layer that supports other fresh or green notes.

Applications and forms
- As a note in compositions: used sparingly to give a modern, “close-to-skin” greenness; often combined with citrus, green notes or soft flowers.
Avocado is not a mainstream perfume note, but an interesting, modern ingredient for perfumers looking for green nuances.
It is used more often as a subtle supporting note than as a dominant fragrance note.Combination tips
- Combine avocado with citrus or green notes (bergamot, galbanum) to highlight the freshness.
- Use soft flowers (freesia, apple blossom) to balance the buttery nuance.

Which nuts resemble avocado or enhance its character
- Galbanum (green) – gives sharp, crisp greenness that emphasizes the vegetal side of avocado.
- Green apple / pear (fruity) – adds juicy, fresh sweetness that goes well with avocado’s buttery nuance.
- Freesia / apple blossom (floral-transparent) – light, powdery florality that softens the creamy texture and brings a spring-fresh dimension.
- Bergamot / grapefruit (citrus) – sparkling top notes that open the composition and lighten avocado’s oily side.
- Soft musks / ambrofix (base) – act as binding glue: prolong and soften the avocado release without being overpowering.
Important: use avocado sparingly; it works best as an accent, not a dominant note.
