About Mirabilis Jalapa

Mirabilis Jalapa is a floral note inspired by the four o’clock flower, known for opening later in the day. In perfume it suggests gentle sweetness, powder, damp greenery, and the temperature of evening air.

Scent Profile

The profile is soft, floral, powdery, green, and lightly honeyed. It can evoke pollen, face powder, an evening garden, damp stems, pale nectar, and a quiet colored glow.

Use in Perfumery

Mirabilis Jalapa works in the heart with fig, marine notes, jasmine, muguet, musks, light woods, green notes, and soft amber. It adds pale color and humid floral softness.

Did You Know?

It can be treated as a fantasy floral when a composition needs an unusual garden detail. Musks keep it gentle, fig adds green softness, and watery notes can emphasize evening humidity. A powdery touch makes the floral image more intimate. Light woods can give the evening flower a quiet frame. The plant is often called four o’clock because of its evening-blooming habit. That makes the note useful for suggesting time of day, softness, and a floral atmosphere rather than a famous perfume material.
