Scent

Diffuse, warm, polyphonic. No single flower identifiable. Honey-sweet pollen, green grass, and faint floral facets. Smells like distance: the kind of floral you notice walking through a field.

The Full Story

Wildflower is not a single ingredient but an accord concept: the blurred, composite floral scent of a meadow where dozens of species bloom simultaneously. No single flower dominates. The effect is panoramic rather than focused.

Perfumers reconstruct this by layering multiple simple florals at low concentrations: traces of linalool, phenylethyl alcohol, hydroxycitronellal, and Hedione, with green support from cis-3-hexenol.

In compositions, a wildflower accord functions as a heart element that adds naturalistic, outdoor floral character without the formality of a soliflore.

Did You Know?

Did you know?
Bees perceive wildflower scent differently from humans. Many meadow flowers emit UV-fluorescent volatile guides that bees follow like runway lights, invisible and odorless to the human nose.
