Origin

Lupin fragrance material is derived from the flowers of the Lupinus genus, which are native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. In perfumery, the scent is typically recreated using headspace technology and synthetic accords, as natural extraction yields minimal aromatic material.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use lupin as a heart note to impart a soft, nuanced floralcy and a touch of green freshness to compositions. It blends well with other florals such as mimosa, violet, and peony, as well as with gentle musks and soft woods. Lupin is valued for adding a naturalistic, meadow-like quality to modern floral bouquets.
