holly

Yerba mate is a holly, Ilex paraguariensis, and its dried leaves, often cured over smoke, give the genus its best-known smell, grassy, bitter and tobacco-tinged. A holly note is waxy and leafy green, with that same bitterness pushed toward the glossy evergreen leaf, a sharp green that cuts through the resin and spice of winter compositions.

How this is calculated

Each perfume counts once, even if a note appears at multiple pyramid levels. Percentages use the documented sample in each section, not the entire catalog. Associations can overlap and do not add up to 100%.

Rankings require at least 10 perfumes with relevant data; an association must occur in at least 3. Only the most frequent associations are shown.
