About Tulip
Tulips (Tulipa gesneriana) are iconic bulbous plants that herald the arrival of spring. Because tulips do not release essential oils through traditional extraction methods like steam distillation, perfumers typically recreate their distinct scent using a blend of floral and green notes known as an accord.
Scent Profile
The scent of a tulip is defined by a **crisp, green freshness** reminiscent of snapped stems, balanced with a light, powdery floral sweetness. Unlike more voluptuous flowers like rose or jasmine, the tulip offers a uniquely cool, dewy quality that feels both delicate and remarkably life-like.
Use in Perfumery
Tulip notes are most often found in the heart of floral bouquets, where they add a breath of springtime air and a sense of natural transparency. They pair beautifully with citrus top notes or clean musks, helping to create modern, light, and uplifting fragrance profiles.

During the 17th century in the Netherlands, a phenomenon known as "Tulip Mania" occurred, where the demand for rare tulip bulbs became so intense that single bulbs were traded for the price of entire houses!
