About plum blossom
Plum Blossom, the flower of the plum tree, is celebrated for its delicate and slightly fruity floral scent that captures the essence of spring. Unlike the richer, deeper notes of plum fruit, plum blossom exudes a lighter, more ethereal quality, making it a favorite for creating airy, fresh compositions in perfumery. Its aroma is nuanced, combining soft floral undertones with a whisper of fruitiness, evoking the first blush of spring. This note is particularly valued for its ability to add a crisp, clean dimension to fragrances, often serving as a top or middle note that introduces a breath of freshness to the scent profile. In perfumery, plum blossom is appreciated for its versatility, blending well with a variety of other notes to create fragrances that are complex yet harmonious, suitable for both daytime and evening wear.

Perfumer's Tips
Plum Blossom is typically used as a top or middle note to introduce a light, fresh, and slightly sweet floral character to fragrances. It works best in spring and summer compositions, often serving as a bridge between fruity and floral notes. Due to its delicate nature, it should be balanced carefully with base notes to ensure its presence is maintained throughout the wear of the fragrance.
