Photo Calla Lily :: fragrance ingredients

Calla lily or Arum Lily, is a flower known for its distinctive trumpet-like shape and elegant appearance, has a subtle presence in the world of perfumery. Its scent is not widely used due to the delicate and elusive nature of its fragrance, which poses challenges in extraction. Calla's aroma is often described as a gentle, green, and slightly floral scent, imparting a sense of freshness and purity. In fragrance compositions, Calla Lily is used to add a touch of floral elegance, often in harmony with other light floral and green notes, to create an air of sophistication and serenity. The use of Calla Lily in perfumes is a testament to a perfumer's ability to capture the essence of delicate natural scents.

Natural or Synthetic?
The use of Calla in its natural form in perfumes is exceptionally rare due to the challenges associated with extracting its delicate scent. Instead, synthetic recreations are used to mimic its gentle, green, and floral characteristics, providing consistency and availability for perfumers.
