Origin

Celosia is derived from the flowers of the Celosia genus, commonly known as cockscomb or woolflower. The scent is typically obtained through solvent extraction or enfleurage, as the flowers yield little essential oil by steam distillation.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use celosia primarily in the heart of floral compositions to add a light, airy quality and a touch of powderiness. It blends well with other floral notes such as rose, peony, and violet, as well as soft musks and gentle green accords.
