Aroma Notes: Pink Lily, White Freesia, Lychee Blossom, Peony and Cassie

Pink Lily

Pink Lily of the valley or, also known as the shining rose due to its glossy leaves is a species in the plant genus Rosa in the plant family Rosaceae.  It is native to northeastern North America, from Connecticut north to Newfoundland and Quebec. It forms a low, suckering, deciduous shrub, growing up to a meter in height, although often less. Its stems are thin and covered in fine bristles.

Its pinnate leaves have 7 to 9 shining leaflets which look and turn bright red, yellow and purple in the fall. Its small pink flowers appear in summer and are subtly but sweetly scented, smelling like Lily-of-the-Valley. These flowers are harvest sometimes for use in Vera Wang Truly Pink women's cologne/perfumery.

White Freesia

Freesia Alba is a species of flowering plant in the iris family. It is native to South Africa, but this species and hybrids are known on other continents where they have been introduced. Freesia Alba is an herbaceous perennial growing from a corm and producing an erect, often branched stem up to 40 cm (16 in) centimeters tall with several leaves up to about 15 centimeters long. The inflorescence is a spike of several fragrant flowers with usually white petals marked with yellow and purple.

The plants commonly known as "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped flowers, are cultivated hybrids of a number of Freesia species. The plants usually called "freesias" are derived from crosses made in the 19th century between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii.

Lychee Blossom

The lychee is the sole member of the genus Litchi in the soap berry family, Sapindaceae. It is a tropical and subtropical fruit tree native to the Guangdong and Fujian provinces of China, and now cultivated in many parts of the world. The fresh fruit has a "delicate, whitish pulp" with a floral smell and a fragrant, sweet flavor. Since this perfume-like flavor is lost in the process of canning, the fruit is usually eaten fresh.

An evergreen tree reaching 10–28 meters tall, the lychee bears fleshy fruits that are up to 5 cm (2.0 in) long and 4 cm (1.6 in) wide. The outside of the fruit is covered by a pink-red, roughly textured rind that is inedible but easily removed to expose a layer of sweet, translucent white flesh. Lychees are eaten in many different dessert dishes, and are especially popular in China, throughout Southeast Asia, along with South Asia and parts of Southern Africa. The lychee is cultivated in China, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Australia, Mexico and parts of Southern Africa.

China is the main producer, followed by India. The lychee has a history and cultivation going back to 2000 BC according to records in China. Cultivation began in the area of southern China, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Wild trees still grow in parts of southern China and on Hainan Island. There are many stories of the fruit's use as a delicacy in the Chinese Imperial Court.

It was first described and introduced to the West in 1656 by Michael Boym, a Polish Jesuit missionary (at that time Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth). In Vera Wang Truly Pink perfumes for women/perfumery the fragrance of lychee is synthetic in nature.

Peony

Peony is a species of herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the family Paeoniaceae, native to central and eastern Asia from eastern Tibet across northern China to eastern Siberia. It is 50–70 cm (20–28 in) tall and broad, with 9-lobed leaves 20–40 cm (8–16 in) long. The flower buds appear in late spring (May in the Northern Hemisphere). They are large and round, opening into fragrant, cup- or bowl-shaped flowers 8–16 cm (3–6 in) in diameter, with 5-10 white, pink, or crimson petals and yellow stamens.

P. lactiflora was known as the white peony (P. albiflora) when first introduced into Europe. It was brought to England in the mid-18th century, and is the parent of most modern varieties. There are several hundred selected cultivars in a range of colors, sizes and forms; many have double flowers, with the stamens modified into additional petals. There are many colors now available, from pure milk white, to pink, rose, and near red, along with single to fully double forms.

They are prolific bloomers, and have become the main source of peonies for the cut flower business.

Cassie And Vera Wang Truly Pink

Cassie or Vachellia farnesiana, also known as Acacia farnesiana, and previously Mimosa farnesiana, commonly known as Needle Bush, is so named because of the numerous thorns distributed along its branches. The native range of V. farnesiana is uncertain. While the point of origin is Mexico and Central America the species has a pan-tropical distribution incorporating Northern Australia and Southern Asia. The flowers are distilled in the south of France to make an essential oil called Cassie which is used as a basis for aromatherapy/Vera Wang Truly Pink ladies perfume/perfumery.
