About Lotus

Lotus is an aquatic floral note inspired by a flower floating on water. Rather than dense white petals, it brings water, pale floral softness, humid air, and a serene transparency.

Scent Profile

The profile is watery, light, floral, green, and softly sweet. It can suggest a pond surface, translucent petals, morning humidity, clean musks, and calm fresh air.

Use in Perfumery

Lotus works in the heart with water lily, peony, green mango, citrus, musks, aquatic notes, light woods, muguet, and tea. It gives a fragrance a transparent waterside quality.

Did You Know?

It is useful in aquatic florals, spa-like scents, and transparent fruity compositions. Musks keep it clean, green notes make it botanical, and soft woods help the watery impression last. Lotus should usually feel calm rather than loud. Citrus can add sparkle, while tea makes the water effect more meditative. Muguet can make the petals cleaner. Sandalwood gives a soft base. Ambergris adds air. Lotus often represents atmosphere as much as a flower. In perfumery, it can create stillness, space, and coolness without using a heavy marine effect.
