Rangoon creeper

Rangoon creeper, an ornamental climbing vine also known as the liane of Rangoon, is a plant whose flowers open at the end of the day and release a subtle scent. In perfumery, there is no common extract derived from this flower, and the note is entirely reconstructed by the perfumer. Its white floral, honeyed and slightly spicy profile is used in white florals and exotic accords.

Rangoon creeper, a reconstructed exotic flower with honeyed accents

Rangoon creeper is an ornamental climbing vine, known as the liane of Rangoon, whose tubular flowers bloom at the end of the day and release a delicate scent. Despite this perceptible odor, this plant is not subject to common perfumery extraction, and no absolute or essential oil of Rangoon creeper is available in the perfumer's usual palette. The note is therefore entirely an olfactory reconstruction.

Perfumers draw on the white floral and slightly honeyed character of the flower to build a note evoking tropical exoticism and evening floral sweetness. Slightly spicy facets enrich the composition, recalling the aromatic complexity of tropical flora and giving the note a distinct identity within white florals.

This reconstructed note is used in white floral compositions, where it brings an exotic dimension and a honeyed sweetness that set it apart from more classic florals. It naturally pairs with jasmine, tuberose or tropical flower notes, enriching floral bouquets with a touch of the exotic and mystery.

In exotic accords, reconstructed Rangoon creeper helps evoke distant floral landscapes, combining warmth, sweetness and a slight spiciness. It can be paired with exotic woods, soft resins or floral musks to create enveloping and evocative compositions, rooted in a luminous, oriental floral aesthetic.
