• Extraordinary Tenacity & Diffusion: Lyral is prized for its "scent-locking" ability. It stabilizes volatile top notes and projects the fragrance further, ensuring a wide and lasting scent trail (sillage).

• Universal Harmonizer: It smooths out sharp or harsh edges in a blend, making complex Floral, Fruity, Woody, and Oriental compositions feel more rounded and harmonious.

• Professional Longevity: Specifically used to provide stable, sweet-powdery terminal notes that persist long after other ingredients have evaporated.

• 100% Pure & Lab-Tested: Our Lyral is a high-purity ingredient, ensuring consistent performance for both professional perfumers and DIY enthusiasts.

Usage & Applications
