ABOUT

Begonia is a translucent floral‑green note with dewy, watery freshness, a faint citrus‑apple tartness, and soft petal sweetness, often recalling muguet or peony with a cool, slightly metallic, waxy‑leaf undertone. In perfumery it appears as a fantasy accord rather than a natural extract, used to lend airy brightness and garden‑fresh moisture to spring florals, ozonic aquatics, light fruity bouquets, and sheer musky woods, pairing well with muguet facets, peony, rose, cyclamen, green notes, citrus, and soft white musks.
