Perfumes with cyclamen

Cyclamen smells clean, cool and watery with a green, airy floral character, giving fragrances a fresh, transparent lift that feels close to spring air.

The flower does not yield a usable natural extract, so the note is reconstructed with synthetics such as cyclamen aldehyde, named after the plant, and helional. The result is slightly citrusy, dewy and sometimes melon-like. Cyclamen is used almost entirely in the heart. It pairs with freesia, lily of the valley, peony, lotus, marine notes and white musks, and suits bright, clean floral compositions.

cyclamen appears in 1,525 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue and is used mostly as a heart note.
