Nympheal has been a so-called captive molecule for years, meaning it was only
available to selected perfumers. Now, everyone can use it! ;)
What distinguishes Nympheal from other substances in the lily of the valley
group is its extreme longevity, comparable to the legendary Lyral. It will last
on the blotter for many months!
In terms of scent, it falls somewhere between Lilial and Lilyflor, but several
times stronger.
Perfumer Arcadi Boix Camps enthusiastically praises Nympheal:
"The great Lily if the valley, Cyclamen, honeysuckle, magnolia and white
Champaca molecule is about to be released after many years of captivity. Its
strength is unique at 0.021 ng/L air. It is incredibly versatile and diffusive
with fresh, floral creaminess.
Nymphéal has been used hundreds of times but one of its most remarkable
inclusion it has been in Bad Boy by Carolina Herrera where it occurs by around
4.5%"
Nympheal enters into synergy with patchouli, creating a unique chord. We
recommend Givaudan's suggested ratio:
