Scent

Faint, honey-herbaceous, mixed with warm grass and clover. Purple-floral at the edge of perception. A meadow note rather than a single-flower note — you cannot separate it from its environment.

The Full Story

Field scabious (Knautia arvensis) is a European meadow wildflower with rounded, lilac-purple flower heads. The scent is faint, honey-herbaceous, and inseparable from its grassland context — you smell the meadow as much as the flower.

No perfumery extraction exists. The fantasy note carries summer-meadow atmosphere: warm hay, clover-honey, a whisper of purple-floral, insect hum. Built from coumarin (hay), light floral elements, and green-grass notes.

Functions in meadow, pastoral, and wildflower compositions. The note is atmospheric rather than particular — useful for creating the impression of a specific European territory.
