About

Buddleia, also called butterfly bush, is a flowering plant of Asia, Africa and the Americas. Direct extraction yields little oil, so its scent is recreated through headspace technology or accords. It smells softly floral, with honeyed, lilac-like nuances and a powdery undertone. Green and mildly sweet touches add freshness. It is used as a heart note.

Origin

Buddleia is native to Asia, Africa, and the Americas, with its fragrant blossoms harvested during peak bloom. In perfumery, its scent is typically recreated through headspace technology or accords, as direct extraction yields little usable oil.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use buddleia primarily as a heart note to impart a gentle, luminous floral character. It blends well with other florals like lilac, violet, and mimosa, as well as light musks and soft woods, enhancing the naturalistic feel of floral bouquets.
