Field notes / 01
What does lily smell like?
Lily accords can suggest broad, waxy petals with a fresh green edge and gently spicy warmth. Some interpretations are airy; others feel rich and creamy. In Veloura, lily sits with jasmine petals and cashmere wood rather than forming a standalone bouquet.

The material behind the impression
Lily in perfume is commonly a reconstructed floral accord. The note does not establish the use of a natural lily extract or a particular species. True lilies and lily-of-the-valley are different botanical and olfactory references and are kept separate in this encyclopedia.

Its place in the composition
Veloura records lily in its heart. Jasmine petals reinforce the floral dimension while cashmere wood supplies a soft woody contrast. The surrounding vanilla, sandalwood, benzoin and oud create a warmer setting for those petals.
