About

Floral Notes is a group note covering the flowers that are not white flowers. It is the transparent and powdery side of the family - rose, iris, violet, freesia and lilac - rather than the heavy indolic side, which ScentPrism holds separately as White Flowers because brands keep the two apart.

Scent Profile

Floral and clearly powdery, in almost equal measure - the dry cosmetic character of iris and violet as much as the petal of a rose. Green sap around the edges, a honeyed sweetness at the centre, and a cool mineral note underneath.

Origin

No single source. The weighted common ground of 38 published floral notes, led by rose, iris, violet, freesia, lily, orris and orchid.

Usage in Perfumery

The heart of the classical structure. A floral accord is what a composition is about between the opening and the base, and brands print the group when the bouquet is a blend rather than a soliflore.
