Palm tree flower

The palm tree is an exotic tree whose large green leaves are enough to make us travel. Less known, its flowers are however not without interest for our taste buds and our nostrils! Indeed, the hemp palm, also called Chinese palm, is a variety of this tropical tree that produces small flowers in the form of long clusters. Rare, these pale-yellow flowers are only present on the female species of this palm. They are used to make a sweet-tasting sugar, much appreciated by pastry chefs.

In perfumery, the palm flower is considered a very interesting ingredient because it has many nuances. The notes of palm flower are quite green and fresh at first. Their vegetal nuances also diffuse a floral and sunny scent that gradually becomes sweeter and more exotic, with accents of caramel.
