About morning glory
Morning glory as a fragrance note encapsulates the gentle and ethereal qualities of the flower itself. It is primarily floral, with a sweet, slightly watery nuance that evokes the freshness of early morning gardens. This note is derived from the morning glory flower, which blooms early in the day and is known for its beautiful, trumpet-shaped flowers. In perfumery, morning glory is valued for its light, clean floral scent that adds a touch of delicacy and freshness to compositions. It is often used to convey a sense of serenity and new beginnings.

Synthetic Alternatives
While the delicate scent of morning glory is challenging to extract, synthetic molecules designed to mimic its fresh and sweet floral notes are used in perfumery to recreate the essence of this fleeting beauty.
Perfumer's Tips
Use sparingly to add a soft, floral freshness to a fragrance composition. It works best as a middle note to bridge the gap between the top and base notes, lending a light, airy quality to the overall scent.
