Origin

Dogwood blossom is derived from the flowers of Cornus species, native to temperate regions of North America and Asia. In perfumery, the scent is typically recreated using accords of other floral and green notes, as the natural flower yields little to no extractable essential oil.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use dogwood blossom primarily as a heart note to impart a nuanced, fresh floralcy. It blends well with other spring florals, green notes, and soft woods, often supporting compositions that aim for a naturalistic or dewy floral effect.
