Muguesia

Say itmoo-GAY-zee-uh

Floral muguet with green, rosy and faintly minty-fresh facets.

What it is
A molecule made in a lab.
When you smell it
Heart: the first hours.
What perfumers do with it
Carries a muguet note in harsh bases like detergents and cleaners where muguet aldehydes break down.
Worth knowing
An alcohol, not an aldehyde, so it keeps its lily scent in detergents and cleaners that ruin aldehydes.
Also called
3-methyl-4-phenylbutan-2-ol; muguet butanol; Starfleur
