The Perfumers conspiracy theory claims that there is a dash of freesia essential oil in every popular perfume out there. The so-called secret ingredient for success. This floral note gets along nicely with most of the fragrance notes, which prompts us to think that Victorians were right about freesia’s symbolism.
In Victorian Era (Victorians were crazy obsessed with flowers and their floral meaning, you can read all about it here) this particular flower symbolized friendship, so young girls weren’t particularly ecstatic to see their possible suitors holding bouquet of freesia.
However, conspiracy theories and past traditions aside, it’s due to the friendly and compatible character of freesia that most perfumers consider it the staple floral note in their best compositions.
With its unique, sweet but light, crystal sheen scent freesia is everyone’s cup of tea, or better note of perfume.
I’m sure you’ve already have at least one freesia-in-all-its-glory perfume, but take a peek at the ones that make me cross the friendship zone with anyone wearing freesia-themed fragrances.
