CitrusBougainvillea
Bougainvillea is an ornamental climbing plant whose colorful bracts, often mistaken for flowers, are practically odorless. In perfumery, the note is entirely imagined by the perfumer, with no common extraction. Its light, green, sun-kissed and slightly fruity floral profile is used in sun-kissed florals and summer accords, evoking Mediterranean warmth and luminous vegetation.
Bougainvillea, a sun-kissed and fruity floral entirely imagined
Bougainvillea is an ornamental climbing plant native to South America, widely cultivated in warm regions for the beauty of its colorful bracts, often mistaken for flowers. These bracts, which surround tiny white flowers that are practically odorless, are not subject to perfumery extraction. The bougainvillea note in perfumery is therefore entirely an olfactory creation imagined by the perfumer.
Perfumers draw on the visual appearance and environment of the plant to construct a note evoking the solar warmth, floral lightness and fruity vivacity associated with this plant from warm regions. Light green facets complete the evocation, recalling the dense foliage and lush vegetation that accompanies this climbing plant.
In composition, the bougainvillea note fits into sun-kissed florals and summer accords, where it brings an evocation of Mediterranean warmth and luminous vegetation. It naturally pairs with citrus notes, light flowers, tropical fruits or sun-kissed musks, contributing to compositions evocative of vacations and sunlit landscapes.
Its floral lightness and fruity facet make it a valuable ingredient for bringing luminosity and freshness to summer compositions. Reconstituted bougainvillea fits into a contemporary perfumed aesthetic that values landscape evocations and accords with a sun-kissed, light and Mediterranean character.
