Гінкго

Fan-shaped leaves turning gold, with a fresh green scent. Ginkgo's leaves are clean and herbal; its fruit is notorious -- rancid butter and vomit, an evolutionary strategy for dispersal by dinosaurs.

У парфумерії
Ginkgo is a clean green modifier functioning in the top-to-heart zone. The accord captures the leaf (not the fruit) of Ginkgo biloba: green, faintly nutty, transparent. Built from cis-3-hexenol, trace filbertone, and clean musks. The note works in green, clean, and Asian-aesthetic compositions as a gentle, recognisable botanical reference.
