ABOUT

Great Burnet (Sanguisorba officinalis) smells cool and dewy-green, with a cucumber-like freshness, gentle herbal sweetness, and a faint tannic, tea-like dryness that evokes clover and meadow grass. Used sparingly in perfumery as a niche green facet, it lends airy, watery lift and naturalistic meadow nuance to top and heart notes—often recreated as an accord—and harmonizes with violet leaf, watery florals, tea notes, hay/clover tones, and soft musks.

CATEGORY · FLORAL

The floral note category encompasses scents derived from the blossoms of various flowers, known for their rich, sweet, and often romantic characteristics. Common examples include rose, jasmine, lily, and peony, each offering unique olfactory profiles ranging from fresh and green to creamy and powdery. Floral notes can be single-note or blended to create complex bouquets, often used in perfumes to evoke feelings of femininity, warmth, and elegance. These scents are prevalent in both classic and contemporary fragrances, making them a cornerstone of perfumery.
