About

Euphorbia is a large genus of plants that produce milky latex. Extraction is rare because the latex irritates, so the scent is rebuilt with accords inspired by the sap and flowers. It smells green and floral, with a milky, slightly spicy note and a faint bitterness. It recalls fresh-cut stems and creamy sap. It is used in the heart of floral or green blends.

Scent Profile

Euphorbia presents a green-floral scent profile with milky, slightly spicy undertones and a subtle bitterness. Its aroma can evoke fresh-cut stems, creamy sap, and a faint peppery nuance that softens as it dries down. The overall impression is both verdant and delicately floral, with a unique lactonic facet.

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.
