Origin

Daphne is a genus of flowering shrubs native to Eurasia, prized for their fragrant blooms. Due to the delicacy and low yield of the flowers, natural extraction is extremely rare and not commercially viable; most daphne notes in perfumery are recreated using headspace analysis and synthetic accords.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use daphne as a heart note to impart a radiant, creamy floral character to compositions. It blends well with other white florals, green notes, and soft musks, and is valued for adding a luminous, spring-like quality to both feminine and unisex fragrances.
