Yellow floral perfumes

The yellow floral accord describes the sunny, sweet, honeyed and slightly fruity smell of golden blossoms such as ylang-ylang, mimosa, honeysuckle, osmanthus and linden. It feels warmer and more cheerful than the white floral family.

Ylang-ylang oil, mimosa absolute, osmanthus absolute, linden blossom and narcissus are typical materials, and molecules such as benzyl salicylate and benzyl acetate help create the sunlit floral effect. Yellow florals sit in the heart of a fragrance. They pair often with fruity notes, musk, powdery notes, vanilla and white florals. Yellow floral fragrances suit spring and summer, daytime wear and warm weather.

The Yellow floral accord appears in 7,240 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue. Below are the most popular scents where it leads.
