Origin

Sundew refers to extracts or accords inspired by the Drosera genus of carnivorous plants, which are native to boggy regions worldwide. In perfumery, the note is typically recreated using a blend of natural and synthetic materials to evoke the plant's unique scent, as direct extraction is not commercially viable.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use sundew as a heart note to impart a fresh, luminous floral quality and a sense of natural moisture. It blends well with other airy florals, green notes, and soft musks, and is often featured in compositions aiming for a light, modern, or nature-inspired character.
