About almond blossom
Almond blossom is a fragrant note derived from the blossoms of the almond tree, known scientifically as Prunus dulcis. Characterized by its delicate, subtly sweet, and slightly fresh floral scent, almond blossom evokes the serene beauty of almond trees in full bloom. Traditionally associated with the onset of spring, this note captures the essence of renewal and purity. In perfumery, almond blossom is valued for its soft, airy quality and is often used to add a tender floral touch to compositions, blending seamlessly with a variety of other notes to create nuanced and layered fragrances.

Perfumer's Tips
Use almond blossom as a top note to introduce fragrances with a light, inviting opening. It works best in creating soft, floral compositions, and can be layered with deeper base notes to add complexity without overwhelming the blend.
