Red Lily

2 perfumes

Red Lily brings a sophisticated, nectar-like sweetness to a composition, characterized by its deep, honeyed floral profile with subtle spicy undertones and a velvety, pollen-dusted texture. Belonging to the sweet floral family, this note offers a more opulent and fleshy character than its white counterparts. It pairs beautifully with warm amber or creamy sandalwood, grounding its heady intensity in a rich, resinous base. In the Gulf, Red Lily is a favored choice for evening wear during the cooler winter months, where its heavy, intoxicating sillage cuts through the evening air with elegance. Arab perfumers often utilize it as a heart note in complex mukhallats to bridge the gap between delicate floral top notes and the dense, animalic weight of aged oud, adding a luminous, seductive glow to the overall blend.
