Глоріоза
Warm, spicy-floral, faintly exotic. Fire lily (Gloriosa superba) carries a scent as dramatic as its flame-shaped petals — peppery, waxy, tropical-green.

Запах
Докладно
Цікавий факт
Gloriosa superba's colchicine content makes it a toxic garden plants — as few as 6 mg of colchicine can be fatal to an adult human. The same alkaloid, at pharmaceutical doses, remains the first-line treatment for acute gout attacks.
Отримання й хімія
Спосіб отримання
No commercial extraction exists for perfumery. Gloriosa superba contains colchicine throughout the plant, making handling hazardous. The tubers are cultivated in India for pharmaceutical colchicine extraction, not for fragrance. Any fire lily note in perfumery is entirely reconstructed.

У парфумерії
Fire lily is a fantasy note — no commercial Gloriosa extract exists (all plant parts are toxic with colchicine). Reconstructed from waxy florals (Hedione), spicy modifiers (pink pepper, beta-caryophyllene), and tropical green accents. Functions as an exotic floral heart note in tropical, spicy-floral, and dramatic compositions. The colchicine toxicity makes direct extraction impractical.
