Origin

Cashew flower is derived from the blossoms of the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale), native to northeastern Brazil and widely cultivated in tropical regions. The scent is typically captured through headspace technology or solvent extraction, as the flowers are delicate and yield little essential oil.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use cashew flower primarily in heart notes to impart a creamy floral nuance and a subtle gourmand effect. It blends well with white florals, lactonic notes, and soft woods, adding complexity and a modern twist to floral and oriental compositions.
