Liatris/Blazing Star

Liatris is a unique and slightly sweet fragrance note with a warm, hay-like scent profile that carries subtle vanilla, herbal, and spicy undertones. Its aroma is soft, earthy, and slightly powdery, adding a natural and comforting quality to perfumes. Liatris imparts a gentle and nuanced character and is often used as a middle or base note to create depth and a touch of warmth in fragrance compositions. It pairs beautifully with florals, woods, and resins, contributing to fragrances that are elegant, warm, and timeless.

History & Production: Liatris, also known as blazing star or gayfeather, is a flowering plant native to North America and has been admired for its attractive spikes of purple flowers. The scent of liatris is typically recreated in perfumery using natural extracts or synthetic accords, as direct extraction from the plant itself is not common. The warm, hay-like and subtly sweet aroma of liatris is cherished in modern perfumery for its ability to add a soft, earthy depth that enhances the complexity and natural feel of fragrances, evoking a sense of warmth and elegance.
