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.
