About Camellia
Camellia (Camellia japonica) is a flower that is nearly scentless in nature. In perfumery, it is a 'fantasy note' reconstructed synthetically to evoke the flower's visual and tactile beauty.
Scent Profile
The scent is soft, powdery, and subtly sweet, with a faint green-tea-like freshness. It is less sweet than peony and less green than magnolia, offering a restrained, elegant character.
Use in Perfumery
Camellia is typically used as a heart note at concentrations below 5%. It blends seamlessly with white florals and adds a delicate, clean touch to compositions.
Did You Know?
Camellia seed oil (tsubaki oil) is used in cosmetics but has no fragrance. The perfumery note is always a synthetic reconstruction, as the flower yields no extractable aromatic material.
