Everlasting Flowers
Everlasting flowers, also known as immortelle, are a unique fragrance note with a warm, rich, and slightly sweet scent profile that carries hints of honey, hay, and subtle spices. Their aroma is deep, comforting, and complex, adding a distinctive and exotic quality to perfumes. Everlasting flowers impart a warm and golden character, often used as a middle or base note to create depth and a long-lasting composition. They pair beautifully with resins, woods, and spices, contributing to fragrances that are warm, sophisticated, and memorable.
History & Production: Everlasting flowers, or Helichrysum italicum, are native to the Mediterranean region and have been valued for centuries for their aromatic and medicinal properties. The essential oil is extracted through steam distillation of the yellow, daisy-like blossoms, preserving their rich, warm scent. In modern perfumery, the essence of everlasting flowers is prized for its ability to add a unique, sweet warmth and depth to fragrances. The note is cherished for evoking a sense of sun-drenched landscapes and enhancing the overall complexity and elegance of perfume compositions.
