Nympheal

Say itNIM-fee-al

Fresh, opulent lily of the valley with linden blossom, green and watery facets.

What it is: A molecule made in a lab, first made by Givaudan in 2014.
When you smell it: Dry-down: hours later.
What perfumers do with it: Modern Lilial replacement giving volume, creaminess and diffusion; far stronger, so it is dosed lower.
Worth knowing: Givaudan kept it for its own perfumers from 2016 until releasing it to everyone in March 2024.
Known in: Woman in Gold (Kilian, 2017)
