Perfumer's Tips
In perfumery, honeysuckle is best used as a heart note to infuse compositions with its rich, floral sweetness. It works exceptionally well in balancing the transition between the crispness of top notes and the depth of base notes. Due to its potent aroma, it should be used judiciously to avoid overpowering other delicate notes in the blend.
