How the layers join

Origin

Purple coneflower, also known as Echinacea purpurea, is native to North America and cultivated in temperate regions. In perfumery, its scent is typically recreated using accords or extracts from the aerial parts of the plant, as the natural material yields little essential oil.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use purple coneflower primarily as a supporting floral note in the heart of compositions, adding a light, naturalistic nuance. It blends well with other florals, green notes, and soft musks to create a fresh, pastoral effect. Its subtlety makes it suitable for modern, nature-inspired fragrances.
