Origin

Phlox is a genus of flowering plants native to North America, commonly found in gardens. In perfumery, its scent is typically recreated through accords using other floral and green notes, as the natural flower yields little to no extractable oil. Synthetic and natural blends are crafted to evoke its characteristic aroma.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use phlox accords primarily in the heart of floral compositions to impart freshness and a soft, romantic character. It blends well with notes like rose, violet, peony, and green leaves, enhancing the overall bouquet effect. Phlox is valued for its ability to add a nuanced, naturalistic floral impression.
