Fleurs de Lys

This collection's name translates to English as "Pre-revolutionary Russia", immediately sending us to some time around 1900s. But it's not just a vibe, the fragrances here are created by the original antique recipes from the 19th century. I personally feel validated by this fragrance :) It is realistic lily without a lily note, instead crafted with tuberose with some additional sweet and softening notes. I noticed that tuberose in perfumery tends to remind me of lily a while ago but wasn't sure if it's normal or it's just a bug of my brain. In any case, I love this one. I compared this to ELDO's Charogne as they both also feature incense but I like this perfume more. The incense is not too prominent but the lily smell may be, I guess, less off-putting for those who dislike it (not me). The longevity isn't super long but quite ok, I was quite careful with the amount I sprayed. Will be reviewing more of those perfumes soon!
