Flax Blossom

Flax blossoms are delicate flowers produced by the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum), primarily known for its seeds and fiber. The blooms are usually blue, though they can sometimes be white or pink, featuring five petals that fan out from a pale center, creating a gentle, almost ethereal appearance. Each petal is thin and slightly overlapping, and the flowers typically grow at the tip of slender, green stems surrounded by lance-shaped leaves.

The scent profile of flax blossoms is subtle and slightly grassy, with hints of floral sweetness. It's not overwhelmingly fragrant, but offers a fresh, clean, and natural aroma. This light scent captures the essence of a serene, pastoral setting, evoking images of linen drying in a breezy, sunlit field. Given its mild fragrance, flax blossom is not commonly used in perfumery but might be found in products aiming for a natural and understated floral note.
