Dry Grass

Dry grass, often found in fields or lawns during the heat of late summer or periods of drought, presents a distinctly earthy and somewhat sweet aroma. As the moisture evaporates, the grass undergoes changes not just in color—shifting from vibrant green to shades of gold and brown—but also in scent. The drying process releases compounds such as coumarin, which contributes a warm, hay-like fragrance that is both comforting and slightly reminiscent of freshly baked bread or vanilla. Alongside coumarin, other subtle notes may include hints of nuttiness and a touch of herbal sharpness, reflecting the complex interplay of the natural elements found in the grass. This scent profile evokes pastoral landscapes and the quiet decline of summer into the cooler days of autumn.
