It can recall verbena or marigold, and is fresh yet mildly pungent. It is used in the heart.

Origin

Lantana is a flowering plant native to tropical regions of the Americas and Africa. In perfumery, its aromatic qualities are typically captured through solvent extraction or headspace technology, as the flowers themselves yield little essential oil by traditional distillation.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use lantana as a heart note to impart a unique floral-green character and to add complexity to bouquets. It blends well with other florals, green notes, and citrus, and is often used to create naturalistic or garden-inspired accords. Its unusual profile can also provide a fresh twist in modern compositions.
