List hrasta

Tannic, dry, faintly astringent green turning to brown. Oak leaves smell like autumn underfoot -- crisp when fresh, leathery and earthy when decaying, always carrying the ghost of tannin.

U parfemima
Oak leaves provide a deciduous-forest green-to-earthy modifier across the heart-to-base transition. The note captures multiple leaf stages: fresh (green aldehydes), drying (leathery, methyl salicylate), and decomposing (geosmin, earthy). It provides a temperate-European forest reference in chypre, forest, and autumnal compositions. The tannic character distinguishes it from tropical or coniferous leaf notes.
