Origin

Mistletoe is a semi-parasitic plant found on various trees in Europe and North America. In perfumery, the scent is typically recreated using accords of green, woody, and herbal materials, as direct extraction is rare due to the plant's toxicity.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use mistletoe accords mainly in the heart or top notes to impart a naturalistic, verdant character. It blends well with other green notes, woods, and florals, and is often used to evoke forest or winter landscapes in compositions.
