About

Stargazer lily is a heady white floral with a powdery, baby-powder softness and a rich sweetness. A green, wet-stem sharpness sits at the front. Under it is an indolic warmth that some people read as meaty, which is what separates this cultivar from a plain lily.

Scent Profile

Stargazer lily is a heady white floral, exotic and rich. A general floral body carries it, with a soft, baby-powder powdery softness underneath and a rich sweetness the plain lily note does not have. A green, wet-stem sharpness sits at the front. Under it is an indolic, animal warmth some read as meaty, with a hint of warm spice adding depth.

What is ScentArt?

Origin

Lilium 'Stargazer' is an Oriental hybrid lily bred in California in 1974. No true essential oil exists, confirmed by L'Aromatica, who state they build their own accord from other essential oils instead. Every description of this note is therefore either a commercial accord or an account of the living flower.

Usage in Perfumery

Used in the heart as a heady white floral. Because there is no natural oil, perfumers build it from other florals plus green and spiced materials. L'Aromatica's published build lists Exotic Florals, Green Citrus, Sandalwood and Balsamic Woods.
