Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemum is a floral note with a sweet, herbaceous, and slightly spicy aroma. It is derived from the chrysanthemum flower, a member of the Asteraceae family. Chrysanthemums are prized in many Asian cultures for their symbolic meaning and are commonly used in traditional medicine and perfumery.

Fragrances featuring chrysanthemum tend to evoke a sense of calm, sophistication, and introspection. The note's herbaceous and slightly spicy character can create a grounding, meditative effect. Chrysanthemum-based scents are well-suited for autumn and winter wear, as they provide a warm, comforting aroma.

Chrysanthemum is commonly used as a middle or base note in floral, oriental, and chypre fragrances. It adds depth, warmth, and a touch of spice to the overall scent profile. Chrysanthemum is often paired with other floral notes like jasmine, rose, and lily, as well as woody and amber notes.
