Desert Flowers Lily

It's very strange that there's no review for this beauty I received it as a gift from my lovely friend@alinaaa and I think it has unbelievable value for it's price.actually I find these series of jesus del pozo with niche-like quality As it's name suggests main player is lily here,so if you like lily flowers as I do,you have to try this(by the way my real name is lili,what a lovely metaphor) It opens with a prominent lily note,very natural smelling,soft and delicate.there are some fruit notes in the background but they never step forward and turn lily to a fruity scent,they just add a fresh fruity undertone which is likable but nothing special.it gradually becomes more floral with a whisper of rose added to dominant lily Leather and oud showup in drydown and add a dark,serious,almost bitterish and mature undertone.it's not anymore that pretty floralfruity of initial minutes.it's a unique scent and not everyone's cup of tea but it's also very elegant and luscious I think first minutes of lily is feminine but it's drydown(after at least two,three hours) can be unisex,leaning towards masculine side unlike most of florals..best time for wearing lily is fall and spring,generally mild weather.it can make a good office/formal scent.if you'd like to try an oudy,leathery lily give it a try Longevity is very good.it stays for ages,sillage is moderate on me.I find it's bottle interesting and kind of unique

I found this on Poshmark, someone gotten it on vacation in Dubai and was selling it for less than $40. I enjoy it, it was intimidating at first and even after it settled about a week later it's still not something to spray too much of. I have a very sweet skin chemistry, so I do not wear fruity EDPs often and initially this is like pure lychee syrup on me, but once it settles woods come out like incense. The cedar is more pronounced than the oud and if you're around people that don't care for the complexity of parfum they may say it smells like Ajax cleaner...someone I worked with told me that, but it really was over my head, this smells like money not chemicals. The lily is definitely the base during the whole wear time. This with Diptyque Philosykos EDP not EDT is so gorgeous, the extremely sweet lily and lychee with the fig and black pepper, amazing. Idk about a dupe for this, but Solstice Scents has a summer EDP, Rose Custard Kulfi, it has that Arabian kick that many of Jesus Del Pozo has to offer. Wish his collections were released in the USA, a true artist.
