Origin

Petunia is a flowering plant native to South America, widely cultivated for ornamental purposes. In perfumery, its scent is typically recreated using accords of other floral and green notes, as the flowers themselves yield little to no extractable essential oil.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use petunia accords primarily in the heart of floral compositions to impart softness and a powdery character. It blends well with notes like violet, heliotrope, and musk, and is often used to evoke a nostalgic or vintage floral impression.
