About

Edelweiss is a rare alpine flower native to the mountains of Europe, particularly the Alps. It gives very little aromatic material, so the scent is recreated with accords of soft florals, musks and green notes. It smells delicate and floral, with green and powdery tones, like fresh alpine air. It stays light and clean. It is used in the heart.

Scent Profile

Edelweiss has a delicate floral scent with subtle green and powdery nuances, evoking fresh alpine air and soft white petals. Its aroma is gentle and understated, with a clean, slightly musky undertone that remains close to the skin. The note tends to remain light and airy throughout its evolution.
