What You Receive

Casablanca Lily perfume oil with Hawaiian gardenia, in a 1/2 oz bottle, blended in cosmetic-grade oils.

Origin & Lore

The Casablanca is a large white Oriental hybrid lily, prized for its heavy evening scent, and gardenia has long been a flower of love and devotion. This oil combines the two for romance, gentle love and restful, dream-filled sleep.

Greek myth tells that white lilies sprang from drops of Hera’s milk that fell to earth while she nursed the infant Heracles.

In Christian art the white Madonna lily became a symbol of the Virgin Mary’s purity and often appears in Annunciation paintings in the angel Gabriel’s hand. Gardenias were named by Linnaeus in honour of Alexander Garden, an eighteenth-century naturalist in Charleston, and they became a favourite corsage flower.
