About

Larkspur names several species of Delphinium, native to temperate parts of the Northern Hemisphere. The flowers give almost no oil, so the note is recreated with floral and green accords. It smells airy, light and slightly sweet, like a fresh meadow, with green and watery touches. It is used in the heart of spring-like and transparent florals.

Origin

Larkspur refers to several species in the Delphinium genus, native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. In perfumery, the note is typically recreated using accords of other floral and green materials, as the natural flower yields little to no extractable essential oil.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use larkspur as a heart note to impart freshness and a gentle floral lift to compositions. It blends well with other light florals, green notes, and soft musks, often supporting bouquets or spring-inspired fragrances. Its subtlety makes it suitable for modern, transparent floral accords.
