How the layers join

Origin

Dahlia flowers are native to Mexico and Central America, but are cultivated worldwide as ornamentals. Since dahlias do not yield essential oil through traditional extraction, their scent is typically recreated in perfumery using accords of other floral, green, and powdery notes.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use dahlia accords primarily in the heart of floral compositions to impart a soft, romantic character. It blends well with other florals such as rose, peony, and violet, as well as gentle green notes to enhance freshness. Dahlia is often used to add a nuanced, airy quality to feminine and spring-inspired fragrances.
