What this is made of

Petalia names no single substance

Names this molecule

A Givaudan floral captive we do not hold as a material. The material that would realise this note is Petalia; we do not hold it, so this edge names the gap rather than asserting a reconstruction.

How the layers join

Origin

Petalia is a proprietary captive molecule developed by Givaudan through chemical synthesis. It does not occur in nature but is designed to mimic and enhance the natural scent of peony and other fresh florals. Its use allows perfumers to achieve effects not possible with natural extracts alone.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers employ Petalia primarily in the heart of floral compositions to impart brightness and a contemporary, youthful lift. It blends well with rose, peony, lychee, and other fresh florals, as well as soft musks and light woods. Its role is to add volume, freshness, and a modern signature to feminine and unisex fragrances.
