About the formula
Introduction
Honeysuckle is a fragrance note that frequently receives requests, due to its unique character. Like heliotrope's nutty almond and vanillic facets, or the indolic aspects of white florals, honeysuckle offers a distinct blend of floral, powdery, honey, citrus, and sometimes jasmine-like nuances.
Versatility of Honeysuckle
The versatility of honeysuckle allows perfumers to tailor its character. The base can be expanded upon by adding materials such as cis-jasmine or methyl Dihydro Jasmonate to introduce a jasmine lift, limonene for a brighter citrus aspect, or a cresol for an animalic, narcissus-like appeal. The potential for customization makes this a truly versatile note.
Pairing and Applications
Honeysuckle is commonly paired with other florals such as rose or neroli, complementing a wide range of floral notes. It is a fun note to experiment with and can be used as a standalone accord or as a base for creating more complex compositions.
Personal Interpretation
This honeysuckle accord was personally interpreted by adding Hedione, cis jasmone, jasmolactone, and benzaldehyde to enhance its jasmine character, brighten it, and introduce a cherry/almond touch.
This honeysuckle accord is a versatile base that can be customized to create various olfactory experiences. It blends floral, powdery, honey, citrus, and jasmine-like nuances, allowing perfumers to focus on specific characteristics or create unique compositions by adding jasmine, citrus, or animalic elements.
