Lily is one of the softest, and most feminine notes in perfume. Its dewy, transparent, and pale green tones add an ethereal, yet earthy touch to floral fragrances. Lily’s feathery, airy texture is best blended with other softer notes like linden blossom, peony, osmanthus, and violet. Scents featuring lily as a major note are tailor-made for the spring season.

Its scent is delicate and endearing with facets of abundantly fresh, natural dimensions.

A deeply green scent that symbolizes the freedom, nature and renewal of the swinging 60s and 70s, galbanum is a much-loved note known for its rough, herbaceous and chypre-like facets. Pairing particularly well with hyacinth and gardenia, galbanum is a favorite alongside vibrant floral notes as it adds an earthy, slightly bitter edge. The note is also a renowned fixative—tying notes down, blending them together and ensuring that they linger for longer.
