Hazelnut Leaf

The hazelnut leaf, derived from the hazelnut tree (Corylus avellana), typically exhibits a broad, heart-shaped form with a pointed tip and serrated edges. The surface of the leaf is somewhat rough, and the color is a vibrant green, turning yellow or brown as autumn approaches.

Scent profile-wise, hazelnut leaves exude a subtle, mildly nutty aroma with fresh, verdant undertones. While not overly fragrant, these leaves might carry hints of woodiness and a slight earthiness reminiscent of the forest floor, especially after rain. Unlike the strong, sweet essence of hazelnuts themselves, the leaves' scent is more understated and naturally aligns with the green, leafy attributes common to many tree foliage types. This makes them less noticeable for their aroma but appreciable in a more holistic, naturalistic sense of woodland freshness.
