Sundew
Note Profile
Scent Profile
Sundew has a delicate, dewy floral scent with subtle green and watery facets, reminiscent of fresh petals and moist foliage. Its aroma is light and airy, with a gentle sweetness and a faintly herbal undertone that evokes the freshness of early morning in a wildflower meadow. Over time, the scent remains soft and transparent, maintaining its ethereal character.
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.
