Origin

Dandelion is sourced from the common Taraxacum officinale plant, with its leaves, stems, and flowers sometimes used in extraction. In perfumery, the scent is typically recreated using accords of green notes, soft florals, and subtle musks, as the natural material yields little essential oil.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use dandelion primarily as a heart note to impart a fresh, dewy floral nuance and a touch of green brightness. It blends well with other meadow florals, soft musks, and light woods, and is often used to evoke naturalistic, pastoral themes in compositions.
