Espinillo

About Espinillo

Espinillo is a flowering tree in the legume family native to South America, particularly found in Uruguay and Argentina. Its small, yellow flowers emit a sweet, delicate fragrance. As a perfume note, it imparts a light, bright floral impression with a natural sweetness reminiscent of spring meadows.

Scent Profile

The scent of espinillo combines a soft floral sweetness with a subtle herbal nuance. At the top, a fresh green impression unfolds, gradually revealing a honey-like sweetness and a faint powdery quality. Overall, it is light and transparent, blending harmoniously with other floral and citrus notes.

Use in Perfumery

Espinillo is primarily used as a middle note, adding natural brightness and sweetness to floral bouquets. It is rarely the sole protagonist, but when combined with white floral notes such as jasmine or orange blossom, it creates a more complex and alluring scent. Paired with citrus or green notes, it can impart a fresh, invigorating character.
