ABOUT

Elderflower is a delicate, airy blossom note with a honeyed, muscat-grape sparkle over soft green stems, blending dewy white-floral facets with nuances of pear, lychee, and pollen; it evokes hedgerows in early summer and a champagne-like freshness. In perfumery it is usually constructed as an accord and used as a luminous top-to-heart bridge, brightening citrus colognes and sheer florals, or lending a cordial-like, subtly gourmand lift to fruity musks and modern woods.

These scents are prevalent in both classic and contemporary fragrances, making them a cornerstone of perfumery.
