About tropical flowers

Tropical flowers as a middle note embody the lush, vibrant essence of exotic blooms found in tropical regions around the world. These flowers, including varieties such as frangipani, ylang-ylang, tiare, and jasmine, contribute a rich, intense floral scent that is both sweet and slightly fruity or creamy. These notes are celebrated for their ability to transport the senses to a warm, sun-drenched paradise, making them a popular choice in perfumery for creating fragrances with a sensual, exotic character. Their natural origins from diverse ecosystems lend a unique depth and complexity to perfumes, often evoking feelings of romance and luxury.

Perfumer's Tips

In perfumery, tropical flower notes are typically used as middle notes to provide a fragrance with a rich, voluptuous heart. They blend well with other floral notes to enhance the bouquet or with fruity and woody notes to add complexity and depth. Due to their potent character, a balanced approach is recommended to ensure the tropical essence complements rather than overwhelms the fragrance composition.
