The dandelion note in perfumery is rarely a direct extract but rather a conceptual accord, capturing various facets of the plant. It can present as a sharp, slightly bitter, milky greenness reminiscent of the broken stem and leaves, or a delicate, subtly sweet, honeyed floral scent from the bright yellow flower head. Sometimes, it incorporates an earthy, rooty undertone. The overall impression is typically fresh, vibrant, and natural. It tends to be light to moderate in intensity, often behaving as a top or heart note, providing an initial burst of green vitality or a gentle floral sweetness that lingers briefly before giving way to other notes. Its projection is usually soft to moderate, and its longevity is typically limited, characteristic of lighter green and floral components.
