Origin

The Ashoka flower is derived from the Saraca asoca tree, native to the Indian subcontinent. Flowers are typically harvested by hand during their blooming season and their fragrance is captured through solvent extraction or enfleurage, as the delicate petals yield little essential oil via distillation.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use Ashoka flower primarily in the heart of floral compositions to impart a nuanced, creamy floralcy. It blends well with other white florals, soft woods, and green notes, adding depth and sophistication to feminine and unisex fragrances. Its gentle character makes it suitable for both soliflore and complex bouquets.
