About cactus flower
Cactus Flower, with its distinctive and alluring scent, stands out in the floral fragrance category for its fresh, green, and slightly watery nuances. Unlike the more common floral notes such as rose or jasmine, Cactus Flower brings a unique freshness to perfumery, reminiscent of the cool, moist air of dawn in the desert. Its olfactory profile is subtle yet complex, combining green, watery, and floral aspects to create a scent that is both invigorating and soothing. This note is often used to add a touch of unexpected freshness to a fragrance, making it more vibrant and lively. In perfumery, Cactus Flower is appreciated for its versatility and ability to blend well with a wide range of notes, from other florals to citrus and woody notes, enhancing the overall composition with its distinctive freshness.

Perfumer's Tips
Cactus Flower is best used sparingly to introduce a fresh, green, and slightly aquatic touch to fragrance compositions. It works exceptionally well as a top or middle note, providing an uplifting and refreshing effect. Perfumers often use it to balance heavier, more opulent base notes or to add a unique twist to citrus or floral accords.
