A delicate white-floral absolute reminiscent of Madonna lily — soft, green-honeyed petals with a fresh, slightly waxy pollen facet. Less indolic than jasmine or tuberose, with a clean dewy character that leans lily-of-the-valley in the top and turns quietly sweet and balsamic in the drydown.AI · claude-opus-4-7

The odor is usually delicately floral with a pronounced oily-waxy topnote. The balsamic-sweet body is reminiscent of narcissus and boronia, also faintly of karo-karoundé. It is less green in odor than these but more fatty-balsamic or cinnamic. There are notes which distinctly recall beta ionone, and the undertone is almost jam-like sweet, reminiscent of figs or plums. The odor is extremely tenacious and uniform, never pungent.
A true Lilium Candidum Absolute would undoubtedly find application in high-class perfumes as an interesting modifier and bouquetting material for floral or aldehydic bases, perhaps even in the heavier perfume types.
