ABOUT

Narcissus is a rich, heady white-floral note characterized by honeyed, green and slightly indolic facets—waxlike and intoxicating at close range, with haylike, buttery and subtly animalic undertones. In perfumery it sits in the heart, lending opulent, enveloping floralcy to white bouquets or adding green-animalic depth when paired with jasmine, tuberose, orange blossom, spices, woods or amber, and is often supported by synthetics to temper its intensity and improve longevity.

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.
