Perfumes with Lily-of-the-Valley

Lily of the valley smells fresh, green, clean and slightly lemony, a dewy spring floral with a watery brightness and a hint of crushed leaves. The flower, Convallaria majalis, does not yield a usable natural extract.

Perfumers therefore recreate the note with synthetic molecules, building a clear, airy floral with leafy green facets. It sits mostly in the heart of a fragrance. Lily of the valley pairs well with rose, jasmine, peony, magnolia, bergamot, green notes and musk, and it is a classic choice for clean, delicate floral compositions.

Lily-of-the-Valley appears in 9,716 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue and is used mostly as a heart note.
