White Narcissus

White narcissus, also known as Narcissus poeticus, is a perennial flower recognized for its striking beauty and intoxicating fragrance. Cultivated primarily for ornamental use and in perfumery, it features a central white flower surrounded by slightly reflexed white petals and a small, red-edged yellow corona. The plant typically blooms in late spring, offering a visual delight in gardens and wild landscapes.

The scent profile of white narcissus is complex and highly valued. It is richly floral with deep, intoxicating notes that are sometimes described as a blend of jasmine and hyacinth. White narcissus emits a powerful, heady aroma that can fill a space with its lush scent. The fragrance has undertones of green and earthy notes, lending it a freshness that balances the floral intensity. This makes it a popular choice in the crafting of sophisticated perfumes and scented oils, where it often lends a luxurious and romantic element to fragrance compositions.
