Nasturtium Fragrances

The perfume note of Nasturtium captures the unique, spirited essence of this colorful garden flower. It begins with a lively, green aroma, reflecting the peppery and slightly bitter characteristics of nasturtium leaves. This freshness is beautifully balanced by a soft, floral undertone, reminiscent of the plant's bright, trumpet-shaped flowers, lending a gentle sweetness to the scent. As it unfolds, the fragrance reveals a subtle, earthy nuance, echoing the plant's close relationship with the soil. The Nasturtium note imparts a sense of vibrant energy and playful whimsy to fragrances, its scent capturing the audacious charm of this widely loved blossom.

About Nasturtium Fragrances

Nasturtium — Tropaeolum majus — is one of the garden's most generously scented flowers, and also one of the most surprising. Unlike many ornamental blooms chosen primarily for visual effect, nasturtium has a fragrance that commands attention: peppery, slightly spicy, and green, with a radish-like freshness that feels more botanical and wild than conventionally floral. Both the flowers and the leaves carry this distinctive peppery quality, which comes from the same glucosinolate compounds that give wasabi and mustard their familiar heat.

The olfactory character of nasturtium is vivid and immediate — a clean, green pepperiness that is bright without being harsh, and slightly spicy without the warmth of black pepper or the heat of chilli. There is a fresh, almost watery quality beneath the pepper, reminiscent of cucumber or watermelon rind, that keeps it feeling light and energetic. It is a note that adds genuine vitality to a composition — a kind of botanical fizz that wakes up the senses.

Nasturtium has found an appreciative audience in contemporary niche perfumery's exploration of edible and garden-herb ingredients. It pairs brilliantly with tomato leaf, violet, green tea, and citrus to create fragrances that feel bright, lively, and genuinely naturalistic. At Fragrenza, our nasturtium collection celebrates this spirited and peppery green — inspired by inventive, garden-fresh fragrances from across the designer and niche spectrum, delivered at prices that encourage exploration.
