Origin

Euphorbia refers to a large genus of plants, many of which produce a characteristic milky latex. In perfumery, the scent is typically reconstructed using accords inspired by the plant's sap and floral notes, as direct extraction is rare due to the latex's irritant properties.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use euphorbia-inspired accords primarily in the heart of floral or green compositions to add creamy, vegetal, and subtly spicy nuances. It blends well with white florals, green notes, and soft woods, providing a modern twist to traditional floral bouquets.
