Character
The Story of Coral tree blossom
A warm, sun-drenched floral with honeyed sweetness and tropical undertones. Native to South America, coral tree blossom brings a distinctive sunny character to fine fragrance.
Heritage
Erythrina crista-galli grows wild across the pampas and river valleys of Argentina, Uruguay, and southern Brazil. Indigenous peoples of the region encountered this striking tree during spring months when it erupts in vivid crimson flowers. The genus name Erythrina derives from the Greek word for red, a direct reference to the blooms that have long marked the seasonal transition. While perfumery has long favored Mediterranean florals like rose and jasmine, coral tree blossom represents a newer frontier in botanical fragrance materials from South American sources.
