Rosemary smells like a sharp, clean, and herbal scent with a slightly woody and camphor-like edge. It's very fresh and invigorating, almost like a mint but more earthy and green. It's a strong, energizing smell that wakes you up. Rosemary smells like fresh herbs in a kitchen or the invigorating smell of a really good energizing shampoo or face wash. It's used in fragrances to add a crisp, aromatic herbal note that feels clean and focused.
