About

Lilybelle is a captive lily-of-the-valley molecule from Symrise, made from D-limonene recovered as waste from orange-juice production. It gives a fresh, transparent muguet with ozonic green and lightly aqueous facets.

Scent Profile

Lilybelle gives a fresh, transparent white floral effect, the lily-of-the-valley character it is built to reproduce. A green, stem-like note sits underneath, ozonic rather than leafy. A general floral roundness supports it rather than one sharp flower. A light, aqueous freshness sits below the green, giving the whole thing an airy, watery lift.

Origin

A Symrise captive, launched as a renewable-feedstock muguet material. Convallaria majalis yields no essential oil or absolute at commercial scale, so every lily of the valley in perfumery is reconstructed. Lyral and Lilial, the two classic reconstruction workhorses, were restricted out of use in the EU, and CosmeticOBS reports Lilybelle as Symrise's answer to that. Symrise says the material took six years of research.

Usage in Perfumery

A heart-note muguet building block. Symrise positions it for freshness and lightness rather than floral weight, and notes that lily of the valley is used particularly often in men's fragrances alongside citrus.
