Rigas Cerini (Рижская Сирень, 2000)

This was my grandmother's favorite fragrance and I understand why, it is so floral and lovely, really reminds me of lilacs in bloom. Surprisingly realistic scent. Since they don't produce or sell this anymore took me a long time to find a second-hand bottle. I remember this fragrance used to be more strong but that was likely the 90's formula. This one is more subtle and more modern than I expected - a fresh yet strong realistic lilac floral. A real treasure!

Lovely lilac scent, very authentic and with good longevity and sillage. Price worthy!

Perfect lilac! The best and truly!!!

This was very cheap and I was not sure what to expect. Ive been very pleasantly surprised. Its a very good stab at the lilac fragrance. The cinnamon gives a gentle kick while the heliotrope adds the sweetness. Ok, so there is a slight chemical feel but Id still be happy to wear it. Fresh, spring like and not far off capturing the heady lilac scent in an easy to wear form. Low sillage and moderate longevity.

I have both modern and vintage version of this and even after all these years it is still beautiful - the lilac note is very detectable and very retro. And even the modern version will soon be considered a rarity since the Dzintars company went out of business and currently has stopped making the perfumes. This is definitely one of their best classics!
