About flower petals
The fragrance note of 'flower petals' encompasses the soft, delicate, and sometimes powdery aroma of fresh flowers plucked right from the garden. This middle note is derived from the petals of various flowers, each contributing its unique scent profile to create a harmonious and multifaceted fragrance. It captures the essence of spring and summer, evoking images of blooming gardens and flower-filled meadows. In perfumery, it is used to add a fresh, floral heart to fragrances, often serving as a bridge between the crisp top notes and the deeper base notes.

Synthetic Alternatives
While natural flower petals are commonly used, synthetic versions are also crafted to mimic their scents. These synthetics can offer consistency, longevity, and sometimes a more sustainable option to rare or overharvested flowers.
Perfumer's Tips
Use sparingly in the heart of the fragrance to introduce a soft, floral essence without overpowering the blend. Works best as a complement to both lighter top notes and deeper base notes, creating a smooth transition throughout the scent profile.
