About

White Flowers is a group note for the heavy flowers. It is not a milder version of Floral Notes but a different register: these are the flowers that carry an animal warmth alongside the petal.

Scent Profile

Heady white floral above everything else, with a green snapped-stem sharpness cutting it and a clear animalic warmth underneath - the indole that makes jasmine smell alive rather than pretty. Honey and a little ripe fruit at the centre.

What is ScentArt?

Origin

Fragrantica describes the same group as "reminiscent of jasmine, gardenia, and tuberose".

Usage in Perfumery

The load-bearing heart of a floral perfume. A white floral accord gives diffusion and carry, and it is what makes a fragrance readable across a room. Used heavily it reads as opulent; used lightly it reads as skin.
