ABOUT

Lily-of-the-valley leaves present a cool, dewy green note—crisp, slightly bitter and watery with a crushed-stem or hay-like facet that brightens the soft, powdery florals and evokes early‑morning woodland and freshly picked foliage. Perfumers use the leaf accord to inject natural green freshness and lift, cutting the sweetness of bouquets and adding an ozonic, botanical backbone in green florals, chypres, fougères and modern aldehydic or aquatic compositions; it is typically recreated synthetically to provide clarity and longevity.
