About cyclamen

Cyclamen, with its soft and subtle floral scent, is reminiscent of a crisp spring morning. This note is characterized by its light, almost transparent floralcy, with a touch of green freshness that evokes the image of dewy petals. Cyclamen's ethereal quality makes it a favorite among perfumers for creating airy, luminous compositions. It often serves as a heart note, providing a bridge between the light top notes and the deeper base notes, adding depth without overwhelming the senses. Its ability to blend seamlessly with a variety of other notes while maintaining its distinct character is a testament to its versatility in perfumery.
