ABOUT

Stephanotis is a lush, heady white-floral note with creamy, waxy and honeyed facets that sit between jasmine, tuberose and orange blossom, evoking warm summer nights, bridal bouquets and an intimate, romantic sensuality. It carries a polished, slightly green-animalic heart that gives softness and persistence rather than sharp sweetness. In perfumery it functions as a rich heart note to build white-floral accords and bridal-type bouquets, often recreated or supported with synthetics and blended with jasmine, tuberose, orange blossom, ylang-ylang and soft musks to add creamy radiance, warmth and lasting depth.
