ABOUT

Cyclamen is a delicate, watery floral note with airy, cool petal facets, a light green crispness, and faint soapiness, evoking dewy spring blossoms and fresh linen. It suggests a transparent bouquet between lily-of-the-valley and hyacinth, with soft violet-leaf and ozonic nuances. In perfumery it is a heart-note building block—usually recreated synthetically—used to impart clean freshness and lift in muguet accords, aquatics, soft florals, and modern musky compositions, blending especially well with peony, rose, violet, aldehydes, citruses, and sheer woods.
