Mahonial

Mahonial is a synthetic fragrance molecule known for its delicate, fresh, and light floral aroma, reminiscent of lily of the valley (muguet) and magnolia. Its scent profile is subtly green, airy, and elegant, adding a natural and luminous quality to perfumes. Mahonial imparts a soft, floral character and is often used as a middle note to enrich the heart of a composition. It pairs harmoniously with other floral, green, and citrus notes, contributing to fragrances that are modern, refined, and sophisticated.

History & Production: Mahonial was developed as a synthetic alternative to capture the essence of lily of the valley, a flower that is challenging to extract naturally. This molecule enables perfumers to incorporate the fresh, green, and slightly sweet nuances of muguet into their creations with greater consistency and stability. In modern perfumery, Mahonial is valued for its ability to add a crisp and natural freshness that enhances the overall composition, making perfumes feel light, elegant, and timeless.
