Bulrush

**Bulrush** refers to a group of large, aquatic plants commonly known as "reeds" that thrive along wetlands and water bodies. The most widely recognized type is the genus **Schoenoplectus**, formerly categorized under **Scirpus**. A bulrush typically features stiff, cylindrical stems that taper at the ends, with very few or no leaves.

As for the scent profile of bulrush, it is not commonly described as particularly aromatic in the conventional sense, like flowers or herbs. However, bulrushes often add to the overall scent profile of a wetland, which is a blend of freshwater, earthy, and plant-like notes. If you were to smell bulrush directly, you might detect subtle, green, and grassy nuances, reflecting the clean and natural environment they inhabit. This makes bulrush a part of a larger symphony of natural odors that can be experienced during a walk by the lakeshore or in marshy waters, where fresh water mingles with the organic earthiness typical of humid, aquatic ecosystems.
