About Ashok Flower
Ashok flower is a perfume note named for the blossom of the evergreen ashoka tree, Saraca asoca. Its small orange to red flowers grow in dense clusters. The name does not establish that a natural extract from the flower was used.
Scent Profile
The flowers are known to be fragrant. Perfumery descriptions associate them with a sweet floral impression that can suggest honey and gentle spice. In a finished fragrance, the result depends on the surrounding notes and materials; the name does not specify a fixed formula.
Use in Perfumery
Ashok flower can lend a warm floral idea to a composition. One floral gourmand lists it alongside tiger lily, salted butter caramel and musk. Its place in a perfume is a scent description unless the house gives more specific material information.
