Liatris spicata, also known as Dense Blazing Star or Prairie Gay Feather, is a flowering plant native to North America. Its scent is characterized by a subtle, herbaceous aroma with hints of wildflowers and grassy notes. This perennial herb is prized for its tall, feathery purple flower spikes that bloom from top to bottom, unlike most other flowers.

The scent of Liatris spicata evokes a sense of open spaces and natural beauty, inspiring feelings of freedom and connection to nature. It can be uplifting and refreshing, making it suitable for daytime wear, especially in spring and summer. Fragrances featuring this note are perfect for outdoor activities or when you want to feel grounded and in touch with the natural world.

In perfumery, Liatris spicata is used as a unique green, herbaceous note that adds a natural, wild character to fragrances. It is often incorporated into floral and green compositions to provide depth and a touch of prairie-like freshness. This note pairs well with other wildflower scents, grassy notes, and light woody accords.
