About

Begonia is a genus of flowering plants from tropical and subtropical regions. Natural extraction gives little aroma, so the scent is built as an accord. It smells lightly floral, fresh and watery, with a green undertone and slight sweetness, like dewy petals. It is gentle and not heady. It is used in the top or heart for freshness.

Scent Profile

How the layers join

Origin

Begonia is a genus of flowering plants native to tropical and subtropical regions. In perfumery, its scent is typically recreated using accords of other floral and green notes, as natural extraction yields little aromatic material.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use begonia accords primarily in the top or heart of compositions to impart freshness and a soft floral lift. It blends well with other light florals, green notes, and watery accords, enhancing the sense of naturalness and transparency in a fragrance.
