Sundew Fragrances

In perfumery, sundew is a rare and intriguing botanical reference — a tiny carnivorous bog plant whose leaves glisten with sticky, dew-like droplets. Since the plant yields no commercial extract, the note is an interpretive accord: damp, green and crystalline, evoking moss-edged wetlands, cool morning humidity and a faint honeyed stickiness reminiscent of the plant's glittering traps.

It opens fresh and watery, with a rush of crushed-stem greenery, then softens into a mossy, lightly sweet floral haze. Sundew sits naturally beside aquatic notes, green leaves, oakmoss and delicate white florals, bringing an otherworldly, fairy-tale dampness to a composition — the mood of a misty peat bog at first light.

About Sundew Fragrances

Sundew: Dew-Kissed Mystery from the Bog


Sundew (Drosera) is a fascinating carnivorous plant found in bogs and wetlands across the globe, its glistening, dew-covered leaves shimmering in sunlight like scattered jewels. As a fragrance note, sundew is evocative rather than literal — it captures the dewy, slightly sweet-green, and faintly floral atmosphere of these remarkable plants and the unique ecosystems they inhabit.


Perfumers draw on aquatic and ozonic molecules, green notes, soft white florals, and light musks to recreate the sundew experience — a fresh, transparent quality with a delicate sweetness, like morning dew on petals and leaves. It has an almost ethereal quality, light and luminous rather than deep or heavy. Sundew notes pair beautifully with lily of the valley, violet leaf, water lotus, and cool woods.


As a niche fragrance ingredient, sundew brings an element of botanical curiosity and quiet wonder to a composition. It's perfect for those who want freshness with a story — something green and alive, rooted in the natural world's more surprising corners. At Fragrenza, we love exploring these unexpected botanical territories and making the results available at truly accessible prices.
