Uses in perfumery :

White and transparent floral note, Lilyflore® is an ingredient with a very high volume. Used in trace and linked with other molecules of the Beyond Muguet collection (Florol®, Mayol®, Hivernal® neo), this raw ingredient allows to work on floral notes such as lily of the valley, lilac, gardenia and all other transparent flowers. Meanwhile, Lilyflore® brings a solar and musky touch, some would even say watery or lactonic, to your accords.
Beware of the volume of this ingredient, it is really very very important.
A very nice alternative to lyral®.

Extremely stable over all types of application. (a major asset compared to other lily of the valley molecules which are generally not very stable because of their aldehyde function - lilyflore is an alcohol -> more stable)
Be careful however this ingredient can crystallize when it is pur and badly stored.
