Maté, Argentina’s national drink, is prepared locally by placing yerba maté leaves and small twigs in a special gourd-shaped vessel, steeping them in cold or hot water, and sipping the infusion through a straw. It contains caffeine and tastes similar to green tea.
Its scent is woody, smoky (because maté leaves are dried beside a fire), herbal-green, and tobacco-like. It is used to add a green quality to florals or to lend lightness to herbal and citrus notes.
What Does It Smell Like in Perfume?
In perfume, maté is a warm, astringent green scent reminiscent of dried tea leaves, grass, hay, and tobacco. Natural maté absolute is a complex fragrance material obtained by solvent extraction of the dried leaves of Ilex paraguariensis. With shades of pollen, fruit, leather, and a slight phenolic nuance, it gives tea accords a dry depth or makes tobacco notes seem more natural. It differs from drinking maté in both concentration and processing, and a maté note in perfume may also be created with a reconstructed accord.
