Origin
Floral notes are derived from natural extracts such as essential oils and absolutes obtained through distillation or solvent extraction, as well as synthetic aroma compounds that replicate or enhance floral scents. Common sources include rose, jasmine, orange blossom, and ylang-ylang, among others.
Usage in Perfumery
Perfumers use floral notes primarily in the heart of a fragrance to provide fullness and a central theme, often blending them with green, fruity, or woody notes for complexity. They serve as the backbone of many classic and contemporary compositions across all fragrance families.
