Plum Blossom

Plum blossom is a delicate and lightly sweet fragrance note with subtle floral and fruity nuances. Its scent profile is soft, fresh, and slightly powdery, evoking the gentle aroma of blooming plum trees in spring. Plum blossom adds an elegant, airy quality to perfumes, often used as a heart or top note to impart a sense of lightness and refinement. It pairs beautifully with other floral, fruity, and green notes, contributing to compositions that are graceful, uplifting, and sophisticated.

History & Production: Plum blossom holds cultural significance in many East Asian countries, symbolizing resilience and beauty. Although direct extraction from plum blossoms is not common due to their low oil yield, their scent is typically recreated in perfumery using synthetic accords and a blend of floral and fruity notes. This allows perfumers to capture the essence of plum blossom’s soft and delicate fragrance. The use of plum blossom in perfumery is appreciated for its ability to add a fresh, elegant touch that enhances both modern and traditional fragrances with a light, floral character.
