About

Gerbera is a genus of ornamental flowering plants from South America, Africa and Asia. The flower gives almost no oil, so its scent is built as an accord. It smells light, fresh and floral, like cut stems and petals, with green and slightly sweet tones. It is clean and dewy, and not heady. It is used in the top or heart.

Scent Profile

Gerbera has a light, fresh floral scent with subtle green and slightly sweet undertones. Its aroma is reminiscent of freshly cut stems and petals, offering a clean, dewy impression. The note is delicate and does not possess the heady richness of more traditional florals like rose or jasmine.

Origin

Gerbera is a genus of ornamental flowering plants native to South America, Africa, and Asia. In perfumery, its scent is typically recreated through accords using other floral, green, and watery notes, as the flower itself yields little to no extractable essential oil.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use gerbera accords primarily in the top or heart of a composition to impart freshness and a modern floral character. It blends well with other light florals, green notes, and watery accords, and is often used in contemporary feminine and unisex fragrances.
