Origin

Lotus is sourced from the flowers of Nelumbo nucifera, native to Asia. In perfumery, the scent is typically obtained through solvent extraction to produce an absolute, though some compositions use nature-identical molecules.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use lotus mainly as a heart note to impart a watery, serene floralcy and a sense of lightness. It blends well with other florals, aquatic notes, and soft musks.
