Rosa rubiginosa

Green apple peel crushed between fingers, with a faint rose underneath. Rosa rubiginosa's foliage, not its flowers, carries the scent -- a sharp, fruity-green surprise in the rose family.

Zanimljivosti
Shakespeare's eglantine in A Midsummer Night's Dream refers to Rosa rubiginosa. The Elizabethans prized it not for its flowers but for its apple-scented leaves, which they planted beneath windows so rain would release the fragrance indoors.
Dobijanje i hemija
Način dobijanja
No standardised essential oil or absolute of Rosa rubiginosa foliage is commercially produced for perfumery. Rosehip seed oil (from the fruits) is pressed for skincare but carries almost no scent. The leaf-apple impression is reconstructed synthetically.

U parfemima
Rosa rubiginosa (sweet briar) provides a unique green-apple-rose quality available from no other rose species. The scent comes from the leaves, not the flowers. The note functions as a green modifier in the heart zone, contributing a fruity-green freshness to naturalistic, hedgerow, and English-garden compositions. Key aroma molecules: trans-2-hexenal, nonanal, citronellol. The note works alongside violet leaf, galbanum, and green tea accords.
