Applications of White Lily CO₂ Extract

Perfumery Applications

White Lily CO₂ is a high-impact white-floral heart material that brings a creamy, waxy, luminous “true lily” body to compositions—especially when you want floral richness without relying solely on jasmine/tuberose.

Perfect for:

• White floral bouquets (lily-centered florals, bridal florals, soliflores)
  
• Aldehydic florals & classic floral themes (adds plush floral depth and polish)
  
• Green-floral modern naturals (the subtle green nuance helps keep the floral realistic)
  
• Narcissus / neroli / lily-of-the-valley directions as a naturalistic floral “body” note
  

Enhances Naturalistic Floral Accords

Its waxy, slightly sweet floral core can:

• Add volume and creaminess to airy florals
  
• Smooth transitions between citrus openings → floral heart → balsamic/woody base

Blending Suggestions (Pairs Especially Well With)

• Rose, tuberose, citrus (for luxurious white-floral builds)
  
• Bergamot, lemon, lavender, rose, ylang-ylang (fresh-to-floral natural perfume structures)
  
• Also shines with neroli/orange blossom styles and narcissus-like themes
  

Usage in Perfume Concentrates (Practical Range)

Because lily materials can be very strong, start low and scale up.

• Typical starting point: 0.05%–0.5% in the concentrate (then adjust)
  
• Upper guidance: Lily flower absolute is listed with a recommended maximum of up to 4% in concentrate (as a reference point for lily-type materials).
  

Cosmetic & Skincare Applications (Aromatic + Formulation Use)

White Lily extract materials are used in cosmetics as skin-conditioning ingredients and are commonly positioned for soothing/hydrating and “comfort” style formulations.

Examples:

• Luxury face oils & balms (ultra-low dosage as a high-end floral signature)
  
• Body oils, butters, solid perfume balms
  
• Hair oils / hair perfume (adds a refined white-floral veil)
  

Formulation note: As with any aromatic botanical, use conservative levels, follow relevant fragrance guidelines, and patch test finished products.
