What this is made of

Almond Blossom names no single substance

Reconstructed

The blossom yields nothing. A name match returns 'Almond oil, sweet, fixed', which is a near-odourless carrier oil - the same trap as apricot.

How the layers join

Origin

This note is inspired by the blossoms of the almond tree (Prunus dulcis), which bloom in early spring. In perfumery, the scent is typically recreated using accords of heliotropin, benzaldehyde, and other floral and almond-like molecules, as true almond blossom extract is not commercially available.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use Almond Blossom primarily as a heart note to impart a delicate, powdery sweetness and floral lift to bouquets. It blends well with other soft florals, musks, and light woods, and is often used to evoke a sense of freshness and gentle elegance in feminine and spring-inspired fragrances.
