Lilyflore® (Firmenich) AC

Fragrance profile: Fresh, green top notes open into a bright, delicate floral heart with recognizable muguet/linden nuances; subtle, natural sweetness and a soft, almost skin-like finish give it volume and substantivity; powderiness is low, the impression remaining clean and transparent in floral compositions.

Lilyflore® belongs to the floral fragrance group , with a specific focus on the muguet (lily of the valley) subgenre.

• Subgroup: green-floral / transparent floral
• Character: fresh, clear, floral with green and aquatic facets
• Typical application: building white floral accords, especially in modern muguet, linden and solar lily compositions

Role in compositions and applications

• Role: Mid-tone enhancer for white floral accords, especially muguet/lily of the valley; used to create realistic florality and bouquet lift.
• Typical applications: eau de parfums, eau de toilettes, body care (leave-on), shower & rinse-off products, and formulations where a clear, non-powdery floral note is desired.
• Combinations: Works well with aldehydes, linalool-rich notes, jasmine, neroli, light woods, and some ionones to add depth and hold.

 

Fragrance strength, diffusion and recommended concentration

• Fragrance strength: mild to medium on blotter; effective in formula due to a strengthening effect.
• Diffusion: Good diffusion; provides clarity and carries floral top/midtones well into the room.
• Recommended concentration: indicative 0.1% – 3% in fine fragrance; 0.01% – 0.5% in cosmetic and rinse-off applications; adjust based on desired intensity and total formulation.

 

Use in perfumery

• Functional use: Used as a character enhancer to recreate natural muguet/linden notes without relying on delicate natural extracts; enhances substantivity and bouquet persistence in the middle of the composition.
• Formulation strategies: Add mid-blend; combine with gentle fixatives or low concentrations of semi-synthetic ionones for more powdery or orris-like sensations if desired; in aldehydic floral compositions, enhance freshness without harsh edges.
