It brings fullness to white-floral hearts and a tender floral character to musks, amber and gourmand accords. Citrus can brighten it, while vanilla emphasizes its sweeter warmth.
The note’s placement and prominence depend on the complete composition.
Understanding this note
Natural orange blossom absolute is extracted from bitter-orange flowers. Neroli is distilled from those flowers, producing a brighter, greener material; the two note names are related but not interchangeable.
