Sweet Pea in fragrances is known for its light, floral, and subtly sweet aroma. This delicate flower imparts a fresh, youthful, and cheerful character to scent compositions. Traditionally, sweet pea has been a beloved garden flower, valued for its charming fragrance. In perfumery, it adds a spring-like, floral freshness, often used to convey a sense of innocence and natural beauty. Sweet Pea harmonizes well with other light floral and green notes, creating fragrances that are airy, uplifting, and easy to wear. It is typically used in the top and middle notes of a fragrance, where its gentle and refreshing aroma can shine.
Natural or Synthetic?
Sweet Pea absolute is naturally extracted from Lathyrus odoratus flowers, offering a delicate, sweet floral scent. However, sweet pea absolute is not typically used commercially by perfumers. This is because it is a very expensive ingredient to produce. The solvent extraction process used to produce sweet pea absolute is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. As a result, sweet pea absolute is often considered to be too expensive for high-volume commercial perfume production. As a result, synthetic fragrance compounds are used to mimic the sweet, floral scent of sweet pea. These synthetics are formulated to replicate the characteristic aroma of sweet pea flowers
