Листя вишні
Crushed green leaf with a bitter-almond undercurrent. Cherry leaf smells like snapping a twig from a Prunus tree -- vegetal sap, faint marzipan, wet bark.

Цікавий факт
Japanese cherry leaves (from Prunus specios a) are salt-pickled and wrapped around mochi rice cakes. The pickling converts coumarin glycosides into free coumarin, producing the particular sweet-herbaceous scent of sakura-mochi.
Отримання й хімія
Спосіб отримання
No commercial essential oil or absolute exists for cherry leaf. The note is reconstructed in perfumery using benzaldehyde (for the almond quality), green leaf accords (cis-3-hexenol, cis-3-hexenyl acetate), and traces of coumarin.

У парфумерії
Cherry leaf acts as a green modifier in perfumery, contributing a naturalistic vegetal-almond quality. It bridges green-floral accords and chypre constructions, grounding sweeter cherry or almond notes with botanical credibility. The key molecule behind its almond character is benzaldehyde, released from cyanogenic glycosides in the crushed leaf. Scopoletin (a coumarin derivative) contributes a quiet hay-sweet warmth. The note works well alongside violet leaf, galbanum, and hedione in green-floral hearts.
