Narcissus Poeticus CO₂ Extract is one of the most refined and emotionally evocative floral materials in the world of natural perfumery. Known as the Poet’s Narcissus or White Daffodil, this exquisite extract has been treasured since antiquity for its hypnotic and almost mythical aroma—lush, narcotic, and intensely floral with green, earthy, and subtly animalic undertones. Our premium CO₂ extraction captures the full aromatic complexity of the flower in its purest form, offering perfumers a remarkably faithful and potent interpretation that surpasses traditional solvent-based absolutes in clarity, depth, and olfactory fidelity.
This rare extract is obtained through supercritical CO₂ extraction of freshly harvested Narcissus poeticus blossoms, collected at peak bloom to preserve their natural aroma molecules. Unlike hexane or ethanol extractions, CO₂ extraction leaves no solvent residue, producing a clean, pure, and full-spectrum essence that mirrors the scent of the living flower. The result is a rich, creamy, green-white floral profile that feels both timeless and modern—smooth, velvety, and deeply sensual, yet elegant and nuanced enough for refined haute perfumery.

Aromatic Profile
The first impression of Narcissus Poeticus CO₂ Extract is intensely floral, lush, and narcotic. Its initial top notes bloom with fresh green facets reminiscent of crushed stems, spring foliage, and moist earth. As it unfolds, the heart reveals its signature narcotic sweetness: a mesmerizing blend of
white
floral petal softness layered with hints of hay, pollen, and luminous botanical warmth. Beneath the floral heart lies an intriguing animalic whisper—soft, musky, and slightly leathery—which adds sensuality and depth without being overwhelming. This multidimensional structure gives the extract an extraordinary ability to anchor, elevate, and transform compositions with its intoxicating natural aura.
Because of its complexity, Narcissus Poeticus CO₂ Extract is often used as a luxurious heart or base note in fine fragrance design. It pairs beautifully with orris, violet leaf, jasmine sambac, rose otto, blue lotus, tuberose , and mimosa. Its green facets harmonize effortlessly with galbanum, oakmoss, vetiver, and blackcurrant bud, while the creamy floral notes blend elegantly with sandalwood, labdanum, benzoin, vanilla, and tonka bean.
In natural botanical perfumery, even a tiny amount can dramatically elevate the sophistication of a formula, lending a classical French-floral character that is at once radiant and grounded.
