Fenugreek

Fenugreek is an aromatic herb and spice with a distinctive sweet, maple-like aroma that comes from the compound sotolon. The seeds have a warm, slightly bitter, and deeply aromatic character that is used extensively in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine.

In perfumery, fenugreek adds a unique sweet-spicy warmth with a maple syrup quality. It works in gourmand and spicy compositions, pairing well with vanilla, tonka, curry-like spices, and warm woods.
