Hawthorn blossom smells sweet, almondy and slightly indolic, like white flowers with a marzipan heart and a green, hedgerow freshness. The blossoms of the hawthorn tree have a distinctive scent that perfumers capture in spring florals and green-white bouquets. It adds a sweet, slightly wildflower character. In perfumery it is a supporting note that brings naturalistic charm. In India, its sweet-green character suits the pleasant months, adding a countryside freshness to daytime scents. A minor but lovely note for lovers of authentic, unmanicured florals.
