Lily of the valley fragrance:
As the main component of lily of the valley fragrance, it simulates the fresh and sweet floral fragrance of natural lily of the valley, and is often used in high-end perfumes, scented candles and skin care products. It is coordinated with floral notes such as jasmine, rose, and orange blossom to enhance the layering and naturalness of the fragrance.
Compound fragrance:
Fresh notes: used in aquatic and green fragrances to give a fresh feeling like grass or dew (such as "ocean" fragrance).
Wood notes: paired with cedar and sandalwood to balance the heaviness of wood and add a touch of soft floral fragrance.
Fruit notes: used as embellishments in fruity notes such as apples and pears to enhance the brightness of the fragrance.

Added to lotions, creams, hand creams, etc., it provides a long-lasting and elegant fragrance and masks the chemical smell of the raw materials. Due to its high stability, it is suitable for skin care products that need to be stored for a long time.
