About

Carambola blossom is the small pink flower of the star fruit tree. One botanical garden records that it is fragrant.

Scent Profile

Carambola Blossom is a soft, quiet floral note, known mainly from a single mention of the flower as fragrant rather than from any detailed description. A green, stem-and-leaf freshness runs behind it. Any fruity or honeyed sweetness here is a light guess rather than a stated fact, closer to the soft blossom character common to small tropical flowers than to the taste of the star fruit itself.

What is ScentArt?

Origin

Averrhoa carambola, the star fruit tree of tropical Asia, in the family Oxalidaceae. Missouri Botanical Garden describes the flowers as 'fragrant rose flowers (1/4 inch across) bloom in the leaf axils throughout the year, typically in up to four separate flushes'. The blossom is a different organ from the fruit, which is the published Starfruit note. No supplier sells a carambola blossom absolute and no trade source treats it as a material, so this is a flower reference, not an extract.

Usage in Perfumery

Measured 2026-08-30: 4 Fragrantica placements, filed under Flowers, and none on Parfumo. Use it as a light tropical flower where star fruit is wanted as a blossom rather than as juice.
