Origin

The scent is typically obtained through CO2 extraction or distillation of the daikon radish root, a staple vegetable in East Asia. The resulting extract captures the root's aromatic profile without the pungency of the raw vegetable.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use daikon radish primarily as a heart or supporting top note to impart a fresh, earthy dimension. It blends well with green, aquatic, and woody notes, and is valued for adding a naturalistic, garden-like effect to compositions.
