A constructed floral with a cool, green abstraction. King protea has almost no natural scent; the perfumery note is an interpretation: sheer, mineral, and architecturally floral.

У парфумерії
Protea is a fantasy heart modifier in abstract-floral and architectural compositions. It provides a non-sweet, non-indolic floral alternative: cool, mineral, and structured. Built from sheer green molecules, watery florals, and metallic-mineral modifiers. Useful in compositions that reject traditional floral warmth in favor of cooler, more conceptual beauty.
