Origin

Gladiolus is a genus of flowering plants native to South Africa and the Mediterranean region. In perfumery, its scent is typically recreated using accords of other floral and green notes, as the flower itself yields little to no essential oil through traditional extraction methods.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use gladiolus accords primarily in the heart of floral compositions to impart a sense of freshness and natural elegance. It blends well with other floral notes such as lily, freesia, and peony, as well as green and watery accords to enhance the impression of a lush bouquet.
