About green lily
Green lily, as a top note in perfumery, exudes a crisp and clean aura with a hint of delicate floralcy. It's not directly extracted from lilies but rather is a blend of various natural and synthetic components designed to evoke the fresh, green aspect of a lily flower before it fully blooms. This note is celebrated for its ability to impart a fresh, verdant brightness to fragrances, making it a popular choice in spring and summer collections. Its ephemeral quality captures the essence of morning dew on young foliage, offering a breath of freshness to any composition.
Synthetic Alternatives
While not derived from lilies directly, the green lily note is often recreated using a combination of synthetic molecules that mimic the fresh, green characteristics of the lily plant. This allows for consistent quality and sustainability in perfumery.
Perfumer's Tips
Use sparingly as a top note to introduce freshness and a lush, green opening to floral, fresh, and green compositions. It's particularly effective in enhancing the naturalistic aspects of a perfume.
