Lily

About Lily

Lily is a poised floral note associated with clean white flowers. It can suggest transparent petals, pollen softness, cool stems, and a lightly watery freshness that gives perfume a straight white brightness.

Scent Profile

The profile is white, floral, clean, luminous, and gently powdery. It combines the presence of a large bloom with the coolness of cut stems, often feeling more elegant than sugary.

Use in Perfumery

Lily works in the heart with muguet, jasmine, rose, peony, musks, sandalwood, citrus, green notes, and aldehydes. It gives floral compositions a clean center and poised volume.

Did You Know?

Balance decides whether it feels delicate or dramatic. Musks make lily clean, green notes make it botanical, and sandalwood gives it a softer base. It is useful when a white floral accord needs elegance without the heaviness of tuberose. Aldehydes can add a brighter, almost starched surface. A little pollen warmth makes it more natural. Lily can be interpreted in many ways. A sheer lily feels like white fabric and fresh stems, while a richer lily can reveal pollen, humidity, and the physical presence of a living flower.
