ABOUT

Buddleia (butterfly bush) exudes a nectarous, honeyed floral aroma that recalls lilac, touched with soft fruity facets (apricot/peach) and a gentle musky-powdery trail; it feels sun-warmed, airy, and inviting. Rarely used as a natural extract, it’s typically recreated as an accord blending lilac-type florals, honey notes, and soft musks. Perfumers use it to add luminous, nectar-like sweetness to floral and fruity-floral compositions, evoking summer gardens and softening blends with a tender, powdery glow.

Floral notes can be single-note or blended to create complex bouquets, often used in perfumes to evoke feelings of femininity, warmth, and elegance.
