Origin

Bottlebrush refers to the flowers of the Callistemon species, native to Australia. The essential oil is typically obtained through steam distillation of the leaves and flowering spikes, though use of the floral note in perfumery is rare and often recreated through accords.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use bottlebrush as a heart note to impart a fresh, green-floral character to compositions. It pairs well with other florals, light woods, and citrus notes, and is valued for adding a naturalistic, dewy quality to modern floral and green fragrances.
