Tulip

Vaclav Lebeda: Every year I wait for the tulips to bloom in our garden so I can grab a notebook and pencil and start writing down what I smell to create the most authentic scent possible. Peomosa is there for the petal effect (my fav material for flowers of all kinds), cis 3 hexenol + PADMA + Liffarome for the green notes and slight bitterness of the flowers, D-limonene for the citrus note. Florol as a general floralizer, benzaldehyde adds volume and bit of sweetness, but one of the most important ingredients for this accord is anisyl alcohol, which adds the typical floral powdery note so typical for tulip. The other aroma chemical I would recommend for tulip is acetophenone, but I used that in another version of tulip. Oh and one more thing: It is not IFRA friendly (due to anisyl alcohol and farnesol).
