Eternal Lily Amber

purchased this beauty at Nose in Paris. most stunning fragrance i’ve come across thus far, the lily, jasmine and amber strikes you beautifully upon initial sniff. the dry-down is a stunning mixture of a floral vanilla with a hint of amber. lasts around 5-6 hours and you can still smell it on fabric after a day or two. there is something quite nostalgic about it. personally it reminds me of paris, warm candlelit dinners, and late night city walks.

I feel like I've smelled this before ... Rose...Amber ..Patchouli...it isn't listed, but I swear there is Oud as well. A complex opening with lovely Lily and something slightly citrus.. it's SO pretty. But the drydown is all Rose, Amber, Patchouli and Oud..been there, smelled that. Is it beautiful? Yes. Is it unisex? Yes, it is. The performance is excellent. Strong and very well blended.. more suited for evening wear than daytime, it's got some power to it. This reminds me so much of Oud Bouquet by Lancome Atelier..it's not identical, of course, but reminiscent of that type of perfume. It might be better, tbh. It's quite well done. There was a time I would've raved over this. Had to have it. And I really do like it. But ...I have smelled this before. It's not original. It's not cheap either. Although, it's worth the $$$ if you can afford it. If you don't already have a perfume with this blend, I would HIGHLY recommend this as one of the best. But, if you already have a Rosey Patchouli Oud, and there are quite a few out there, maybe not. I'm on the fence...

I definitely notice the green apple at the beginning that others have mentioned. It's a wet, crisp, kind of sour green apple, and it doesn't fully fade, even after hours. The lily is also noticeable, but much shorter-lived, which is too bad because it's so nice early on. I also see why people are calling it medicinal. It doesn't feel that way to me exactly, but there's definitely something there; it's a bit like menthol, even after a while. Not the flavor of menthol, to be clear, but the way it makes your nose feel. It feels related to the amber, which smells more melancholy to me than amber usually does. I wish I could say that was the lilies, but the lilies are gone by the time the amber acquires this character. Overall, really interesting, and I'll probably wear it again. It definitely has a consistent throughline--whatever the green apple and amber have in common is also giving the menthol and the somber vibe--but I'm not quite sure what it is.

This is the second fragrance from this house that I am trying and like the previous one, this one is also very well-balanced and has originality. The juice color caught my eye instantly; it's a beautiful, vibrant green. The bottle is also very nice and both the bottle and juice color are enough to persuade you to buy it. The scent itself is lovely too. It opens very fresh with green apple and mandarin and has nice floral middle notes. The rose is very soft and fresh, giving the fragrance a vibe similar to the Un Jardin collection from Hermes: fresh, uplifting, and floral. The good news is that the scent itself is unique and has good performance. Overall, it's a very good fresh fragrance that scores high in presentation, scent, and originality. 8/10

Green apple stands out at the opening, then a rose and lilly note appears. There is a crisp fresh, green/ leafy scent amongst the Amber to add. I don't really smell patchouli or vanilla but I get a hint of orange and there is an occasional sweetness that I think must come from the apple. Now, I don't often smell apple in this way, maybe because my nose doesn't detect it this way in other fragrances. The green colour juice suits the scent perfectly and the suede like lid is different. This is what I would like to smell entering a flower shop. For me, this would suit as a room aroma. It is lovely and would make a beautiful candle.
