Hibiscus

The showy hibiscus flower is not extracted for perfume; the note is a perfumer's picture of a tropical bloom.

What it is
A flower that gives no oil worth extracting, so perfumers rebuild its smell from other materials.
Known in
Love Hibiscus (Amouage, 2026)
Worth knowing
Ambrette, perfumery's plant musk, comes from the seeds of a hibiscus relative once named Hibiscus abelmoschus.
