Božićna zvezda

A barely-there green whisper. Poinsettia smells like sap from a broken stem, vegetal and watery, with a faint latex undertone.

U parfemima
Poinsettia is a fantasy modifier used sparingly in green-floral and tropical compositions. It provides a greenhouse-vegetal quality, evoking living plants rather than cut flowers. The note is conceptual: the actual plant has minimal fragrance, so the accord is a perfumer's interpretation built from green, watery, and lactonic materials. It appears in holiday-themed and botanical concept fragrances.
