Спірея

Sweet, almond-like, and honey-warm. Spiraea (meadowsweet, Filipendula ulmaria) smells of salicylaldehyde — the molecule that inspired aspirin. A bitter-almond sweetness over honeyed warmth, like wintergreen tempered by meadow flowers.

У парфумерії
In perfumery, Spiraea is primarily used as a heart note, where it contributes a rich floral quality to compositions. It works with other floral ingredients such as rose and peony, and enhances citrus notes by adding a soft, sweet contrast. Spiraea can be combined with green notes to carries the freshness of spring, making it an adaptable component in both feminine and unisex fragrances.
