Ingredients in Floral Notes

• Lavender: Derived from the Lavandula angustifolia plant, lavender has a fresh, sweet, and herbaceous floral scent.

• Ylang-Ylang: Extracted from the Cananga odorata tree, ylang-ylang offers a rich, sweet, and slightly fruity floral aroma.

• Orange Flower: Obtained from the flowers of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium), it has a fresh, sweet, and slightly citrusy floral scent.

• Tuberose: Extracted from the flowers of Polianthes tuberosa, tuberose has a rich, heady, and creamy floral scent.

• Iris (Orris Root): Derived from the rhizomes of Iris pallida and Iris germanica, orris root has a powdery, woody, and slightly floral aroma.

• Lily: Typically replicated using synthetic materials, as the natural extraction is difficult. It has a fresh, green, and delicate floral scent.

• Neroli: Extracted from the flowers of the bitter orange tree, similar to orange blossom but with a more green and slightly spicy floral scent.

  How Floral Notes Are Made

1. Extraction: Essential oils and absolutes are extracted from flowers through methods such as steam distillation, solvent extraction, or CO2 extraction. Solvent extraction is often used for delicate flowers like jasmine and tuberose.

2. Enfleurage: An ancient method where flowers are placed on a layer of fat to absorb their fragrance, then the fat is processed to extract the oil.

3. Distillation: Steam distillation is used for more robust flowers like lavender and rose, where the steam captures the volatile oils.

4. Blending: Floral notes are carefully blended with other fragrance components to create balanced and harmonious perfumes.

Enhancing Floral Notes:

1. Citrus: Notes from bergamot, lemon, and orange can brighten and add freshness to floral compositions.

2. Green Notes: Ingredients like galbanum or green tea can add a fresh, leafy aspect to floral fragrances.

3. Spices: Light spices like cardamom or pink pepper can add complexity and warmth.

4. Fruits: Notes from pear, apple, or berries can add sweetness and juiciness to floral scents.

5. Woods and Musks: Sandalwood, cedarwood, and musk can add depth, warmth, and longevity to floral fragrances.

Floral notes are a cornerstone of perfumery, providing a wide range of scents from fresh and light to deep and intoxicating.
