Origin

In perfumery, white amaryllis is typically represented through accords or headspace technology, as the natural flower yields little to no extractable oil. The scent is reconstructed using a blend of natural and synthetic materials to capture its distinctive fresh-floral profile. These reconstructions are informed by the analysis of the living flower's aroma.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use white amaryllis mainly in the heart of floral compositions to impart brightness and a creamy, petal-like quality. It blends well with other white florals such as jasmine, lily, and magnolia, as well as green notes and soft musks. Its role is to add elegance, freshness, and a subtle complexity to modern floral fragrances.
