Lily of the Valley: Harvest, Origin...

Originating in Europe, lily of the valley thrives in shady woodland areas. Its flowers take the form of tiny white bells. Harvesting is regulated as the flower is protected in many countries and cannot be wild-picked. Nevertheless, its beauty and delicate fragrance have inspired numerous perfumers to recreate its scent in fragrant compositions.



What does Lily of the Valley smell like in perfumery?

In its natural state, lily of the valley is a white flower with fresh, green, slightly creamy notes, along with an animalic facet known as "indolic," characteristic of white flowers, particularly lily of the valley perfume. In perfumery, it belongs to the floral olfactory family.



Why does Lily of the Valley smell good?

The delicate scent of lily of the valley owes itself to its chemical components, such as cis-3-hexenol, which provides its green and fresh notes, and indole, which imparts its animalic facet and potency.
