As a perfumery material it is genuinely rare: true lily absolute and extract are notoriously difficult to produce, and much of what circulates in the trade under the name \"lily\" is of uncertain or blended origin. This extract is produced by supercritical CO₂ extraction from Bulgarian-grown \u003cem\u003eLilium candidum\u003c\/em\u003e flowers — a modern extraction method that captures the aromatic profile of the fresh bloom with a fidelity that solvent extraction cannot always achieve, while avoiding solvent residue entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA viscous, floral material of delicate sweetness, this CO₂ extract is intended for the serious perfumer working at very low concentrations — lily materials are powerful and a little goes a very long way. Full documentation is being obtained from our supplier and will be available prior to this listing going live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eScent Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFloral with a delicate, luminous sweetness — the character is gentle rather than assertive, with a soft waxy-creamy quality typical of true lily materials. Subtle green facets keep the floral character feeling fresh and realistic rather than heavy or synthetic. A high-impact white floral heart material that adds body and richness to compositions without the more familiar weight of jasmine or tuberose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfumery Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMadonna Lily CO₂ Extract functions as a white-floral heart material, bringing a creamy, waxy, luminous \"true lily\" body to compositions — particularly valuable when floral richness is wanted without relying solely on jasmine or tuberose. It is well suited to white floral bouquets, lily-centred soliflores, aldehydic florals, and green-floral modern natural compositions where its subtle green nuance helps keep the floral character realistic. Its waxy, slightly sweet floral core adds volume and creaminess to airy florals and smooths transitions between citrus openings, floral hearts, and balsamic or woody bases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause lily materials are extremely potent, start at 0.05–0.5% in the concentrate and adjust gradually; a maximum guidance of up to 4% applies for lily-type materials generally, but most compositions will need far less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBlending Suggestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePairs beautifully with rose absolute, tuberose, jasmine, bergamot, lemon, lavender, ylang ylang, neroli, orange blossom, narcissus, violet leaf, sandalwood, and soft musks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eLilium candidum\u003c\/em\u003e L.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e Madonna Lily \/ White Lily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Liliaceae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eINCI:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lilium Candidum Flowers CO₂ Extract\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bulgaria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Part:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtraction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supercritical CO₂ extraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Middle note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Viscous liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolubility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soluble in oils, alcohol, and butters — insoluble in water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOdour Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floral \/ Delicate \/ Sweet \/ Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShelf Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 years when stored properly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — 100% pure natural CO₂ extract, no solvent residue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep sealed in cool, dark conditions.
