Bleeding-Heart Flower
Note Profile
About
Bleeding heart is the pendant spring flower of Lamprocapnos spectabilis, a garden perennial. No essential oil, absolute or resinoid is sold under this name. The note is a reconstruction, and the scent it reconstructs is faint and disputed.
Scent Profile
Bleeding-heart flower has a mild, sweet floral scent, faint rather than heady. Some accounts say the plant barely smells at all, so this is a light, quiet note rather than a strong one. What little character it has reads as an ordinary fresh garden petal, with the barest trace of honey and powder in the background. Nothing about it is sharp or rich.

Origin
Lamprocapnos spectabilis (formerly Dicentra spectabilis), a perennial of eastern Asia grown across temperate gardens. The flower is used as a name and an image. No extract of it reaches perfumery.
Usage in Perfumery
A garden-floral name used in small artisan and niche work. Three Parfumo entries across three brands. Because no material exists, each house builds its own soft floral accord to carry the name.
