About freesia

Freesia is a beloved floral note in perfumery, known for its pure, peppery, and almost citrusy aroma. This note captures the essence of the first blooms of spring, offering a delicate yet complex scent profile that can range from sweetly floral to subtly spicy. Freesias, in their natural form, present a bouquet of colors and scents, but it's the white freesia that's most commonly associated with the note used in fragrances. The note's versatility makes it a favorite among perfumers, who use it to add a fresh, bright dimension to floral bouquets, or to introduce a clean, airy quality to more complex compositions. Its ability to blend harmoniously with a variety of other notes, from fruity to woody, allows it to play a pivotal role in creating fragrances that are both vibrant and sophisticated.

Perfumer's Tips

Freesia is typically used as a top or middle note in perfumes to introduce a fresh, floral opening or to add depth and complexity to the heart of the fragrance. Its lightness makes it perfect for daytime and spring/summer creations. Perfumers should use it sparingly to avoid overpowering other notes, and consider its compatibility with the fragrance's overall profile.
