Natural or Synthetic?
The natural scent of Water Lily is elusive and not typically extracted for use in perfumery due to the delicate nature of the flower and the difficulty in capturing its essence. Instead, synthetic molecules, which can mimic the fresh and aquatic floral notes of Water Lily, are used. These compounds are designed to replicate the subtle and fresh characteristics of Water Lily.
