Pittosporum, often used in fragrances for its unique and enchanting aroma, is a genus of flowering plants known for their sweet and slightly spicy scent. The aroma of Pittosporum is subtle yet distinctive, often described as a blend of floral and green notes with a hint of woody undertones. In the realm of perfumery, Pittosporum has been valued for its ability to add depth and complexity to fragrance compositions. Its scent profile is multifaceted, making it an excellent choice for middle notes where it can harmonize the transition between the top and base notes. This ingredient is particularly favored in floral and green fragrances. It adds a natural, garden-fresh quality to scents, reminiscent of a blooming garden. Pittosporum's aroma pairs well with a wide range of notes, from crisp citruses to rich florals, enhancing the overall balance and sophistication of the fragrance.
Natural or Synthetic?
Natural Pittosporum oil or absolute is extracted through enfleurage or solvent extraction from the flowers, capturing its sweet, floral, green scent. The process is labor-intensive and costly, leading to the use of synthetic alternatives, which mimic these olfactory characteristics.
