Hawthorn

Hawthorn is a delicate and subtly sweet fragrance note with a floral scent profile that carries hints of green, almond-like, and slightly powdery undertones. Its aroma is soft, fresh, and natural, adding a gentle, nostalgic quality to perfumes. Hawthorn imparts a light, sweet floral character and is often used as a middle note to create an airy and balanced composition. It pairs beautifully with other floral, green, and woody notes, contributing to fragrances that are elegant, calming, and full of grace.

History & Production: Hawthorn (Crataegus species) is a flowering shrub native to Europe, North America, and Asia, traditionally associated with springtime and renewal. While hawthorn flowers are difficult to extract directly, their scent is often recreated using synthetic accords or blended with almond and floral notes in perfumery to capture their delicate aroma. Hawthorn is valued for its ability to add a soft, nostalgic sweetness that enhances the lightness and refinement of fragrances, evoking a sense of serenity and natural beauty.
