Casablanca
12.75 Oz / +55 hours of burn time.
Casablanca lilies are not for everyone. Their strong, cloying fragrance can be smelled from afar, and many have a low tolerance for them.
But I have always loved them. In Argentina, where I grew up, we call them Azucenas, a word originally from the Arabic meaning "lily." The South American varieties smell fresher and greener, are less spicy, and are particularly strong at night.
Casablanca lilies are a hybrid derived from Central and East Asian species. They have many cousins, all with different perfumes, which have been studied and analyzed over the years but remain challenging to distill. I work with a supplier who creates what has got to be one of the only lily enfleurage materials available worldwide. It is a heavenly material that, when diluted correctly, can be worn as a perfume by itself.
Casablanca is included in my Scent Collection The House Of White Petals, because it is a white flower. However, for those who want to get specific, it shares narcotic qualities with other fragrances we have, like Azahares or Tuberose Mexicana. Casablanca remains, however, fresher than other narcotic flowers because its fragrance has volatile components that we usually associate with "green" or "fresh" smells.
In remaining loyal to the scent of the live, fresh flowers, I created a Casablanca lily perfume far more substantial than other lily candles in the market.
And far more intriguing.
Casablanca is classified as a white floral fragrance with green, spicy, and phenolic aspects. You can learn more about white florals and perfumery classification here.

Casablanca Inspiration
The inspiration for Casablanca was always in the back of my mind. When I was a kid, I used to walk every day from home to tennis lessons after lunch, during the siesta hours, and the boulevard that took me to the private tennis club we belonged to was -and still is- lined with beds of lilies. In Argentina, we call them Azucenas, and they are very popular. For some reason, I have come to think they are more loved in Latin countries than here in the US, but that could be because in my research, I have come across many people that despise lilies with some utter disgust that is hard to understand.
Yet, when looking up all the different versions of perfumes, candles, room sprays, and fragrance oils that say "Lily" or "Easter Lily" or "Casablanca lily", I never came across something I would say "Aha! This is IT!" So many things can smell like lilies, which is up for personal interpretation.
I decided to go with the closest approximation to the perfume of live, fresh flowers. I obtained what has got to be one of the only lily enfleurage materials in the world—go ahead, try to find it—and I built upon it to expand on the accords that we identify as "white lily" or "Casablanca lily." Being a soliflore, meaning a fragrance representing a single flower, it is very niche. Once achieved, it's meant to smell like lilies.
I like working with materials of P&N (Pure & Natural) origin. To that extent, I used some rare essential oils to impart the freshness, citrus, or spicy accords in the smell of real Casablanca lilies. The result is a decadent perfume that can diffuse through my entire home. And now you can take it home, too.
