Dry Flowers
Dry flowers in perfumery evoke a delicate, warm, and slightly dusty aroma reminiscent of sun-dried petals or pressed flowers in a book. Their scent profile is soft, earthy, and subtly sweet, adding a vintage, nostalgic quality to perfumes. Dry flower notes impart depth and an elegant, muted floral character, often used as heart or base notes to enhance the richness and complexity of a fragrance. They blend well with woody, musky, and spicy notes, creating compositions that are refined, romantic, and timeless.
History & Production: The use of dry flowers in perfumery stems from the practice of drying blooms to preserve their fragrance and beauty. While direct extraction from dry flowers is rare, their scent is typically recreated using accords that mimic the slightly earthy and sweet aroma of dried petals. Ingredients such as orris root, hay, and certain resins help achieve this effect, adding a touch of warmth and nostalgia to fragrances. Dry flower notes are cherished for their ability to evoke memories and provide an intimate, classic touch to both modern and traditional perfumes.
