About casablanca lily
The Casablanca lily note is derived from the flowers of the Lilium 'Casablanca', a hybrid lily known for its large, white, and highly fragrant blooms. This note captures the essence of the flower's intoxicating, heady scent, characterized by a lush, opulent floralcy with a subtle sweetness. Originating from gardens and cultivated settings, the Casablanca lily is prized in perfumery for its potent aroma and its ability to add depth and complexity to floral compositions. It embodies sophistication and elegance, making it a favored note for luxurious and feminine fragrances.

Synthetic Alternatives
While the natural essence of Casablanca lily is highly valued, synthetic versions are often used in perfumery to replicate its scent. These synthetics aim to mimic the lily's lush floralcy and are utilized due to sustainability concerns, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to ensure consistent scent profiles in fragrances.
Perfumer's Tips
Due to its strong, floral profile, Casablanca lily should be used with a light hand in compositions to prevent it from overpowering other notes. It works well as a middle note, providing a heart to floral bouquets and adding elegance and depth to the overall fragrance.
