White Lily, scientifically known as Lilium candidum, is known for its delicate and enchanting fragrance. Historically, the White Lily has been a symbol of purity and refined beauty, with its use in scents dating back to ancient times. In many cultures, it holds a place of significance in mythology and symbolism, often associated with femininity and majesty. In modern perfumery, White Lily adds a rich, floral aroma that is both subtle and profound. Its scent profile is often described as creamy, soft, and gently intoxicating, with a hint of a fresh, green, almost dewy undertone. This makes it a favorite for creating perfumes that aim to capture the essence of elegance and serenity. The use of White Lily in fragrances is particularly noted for its ability to impart a sense of tranquility and sophistication. It is often used in floral and oriental fragrance compositions to add depth and a touch of opulence. The inclusion of White Lily can transform a fragrance, giving it a luxurious and timeless quality.

Natural or Synthetic?
White Lily is used both naturally and synthetically in perfumes. Natural extraction of White Lily essence can be challenging and expensive, leading to the use of synthetic alternatives that mimic its delicate scent.
