ABOUT

Syringa (lilac) is a light, green-floral accord marked by dewy, leafy greenness over a powdery, honeyed floral heart with faint spicy and narcotic whispers; it reads airy, nostalgic and unmistakably springlike. In perfumery it serves as a transparent heart note for soliflores and bouquet compositions, often paired with rose, jasmine, violet leaf, galbanum or soft woods and musks to add fleeting, romantic freshness or recreated synthetically when the natural nuance is too delicate to extract.

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.
