the Lily & The Lion Collection

The Lily and Lion Natural Essential Oil Fragrance blend is a harmonious blend of sacred florals, bright citruses, and deep, ancient resins and woods, creating an opulent, multifaceted "old world" oriental fragrance.

The scent opens with an immediate, uplifting burst of freshness from sweet orange and crisp bergamot, offering a bright, invigorating introduction that is characteristic of classic perfumery.

This initial zest quickly gives way to a lush, captivating heart where an ethereal bouquet of white, pink, and blue lotus provides an exotic, aquatic, and delicately powdery character.

The rare pink, white, and blue lotus essential oils are the heart of this fragrance.

This initial citrus burst is quickly followed by an ethereal and complex heart, where a trio of aquatic florals emerges:

• White lotus provides a delicate, sweet, and aquatic clarity.
• Pink lotus adds a lush, honeyed, and slightly spicy floral richness with subtle fruity undertones.
• Blue lotus contributes a sweet, powdery, and mesmerizing quality, with hints of stone fruit and a deeply calming aura.

Intertwined with the lotus flowers are the rich, heady notes of ylang-ylang and jasmine sambac, which lend a creamy, sweet, and intensely sensual depth to the core of the fragrance. Jasmine sambac is known for its musky, sweet, and sultry character, and ylang-ylang contributes a lush, creamy, and slightly banana-nuanced tropical richness. This combination forms a truly intoxicating and sensual heart.

The journey culminates in a warm, profound base, where the timeless, spiritual notes of frankincense and myrrh merge with velvety sandalwood. These resins and woods are rooted in ancient traditions and lend a rich, balsamic, and grounding foundation, ensuring a long-lasting, mysterious, and sophisticated trail.

The dry-down is where the "old world" character truly unfolds, with a deep, long-lasting foundation of rich resins and woods that ground the ethereal florals.

Frankincense and myrrh offer a warm, balsamic, and slightly spicy resinous quality, historically significant in ancient rituals and perfumery.
Sandalwood contributes a classic, creamy, and soft woody base that is both comforting and sophisticated.

The resulting perfume is an elegant, sophisticated, and ancient-feeling scent that masterfully balances the lightness of aquatic florals and bright citrus with the depth and longevity of rich, earthy resins and woods. It is a harmonious and timeless fragrance, designed to be worn on the skin for hours, revealing its layered complexity as it develops.
