About Bellflower
Scent Profile
Bellflower, belonging to the Campanula family, is known for its distinctive bell-shaped flowers. Its scent is fresh and green with mild floral undertones, reminiscent of cut grass and morning dew. It lacks the intensity of rose or jasmine, instead offering an airy, garden-fresh character that blends easily with other florals.
Use in Perfumery
In perfumery, bellflower is typically used in top or heart notes, blending well with other florals. Perfumers pair it with green materials like galbanum, hyacinth, and violet leaf to create fresh, botanical compositions that evoke spring gardens. Natural bellflower absolute is uncommon, so synthetic aroma molecules are often used to capture its delicate scent.
