A delicate, dewy white-floral impression of muguet — green, fresh, and slightly watery with a soft petal sweetness. Note that true lily of the valley absolute is not commercially produced; materials sold under this name are almost always reconstitutions built from hydroxycitronellal, Lyral-type materials, cyclamen aldehyde and green florals.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Odor

At their best, these absolutes were very pleasantly fragrant, with a delicate floral quality and a distinct touch of greenness, surrounded by a fresh, rosy-lemony body note.

Uses in perfumery

The creation of a lily-of-the-valley perfume type is one of the first problems presented to the advanced apprentice-perfumer.
