Floral Notes

Floral notes are among the most versatile and widely used fragrance components, characterized by their soft, sweet, and fresh aroma that evokes the scent of blooming flowers. These notes can range from delicate and airy, like lily of the valley, to rich and opulent, like rose and jasmine. Floral notes are often used as heart notes in perfumes, providing a romantic and elegant quality. They blend seamlessly with citrus, woody, and spicy notes, creating balanced and sophisticated fragrance compositions that exude femininity, warmth, and timeless beauty.

History & Production: The use of floral notes in perfumery dates back thousands of years, with ancient cultures extracting the essence of flowers through methods like enfleurage and steam distillation. Today, floral notes are produced both naturally and synthetically, using essential oils and absolutes derived from flowers such as rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang, or through synthetic molecules that replicate floral scents. The inclusion of floral notes in fragrances continues to be a hallmark of perfumery, symbolizing nature, beauty, and grace, and providing a broad palette for creating everything from light, fresh scents to deep, luxurious blends.
