In This World

The opening is quite sweet, green and aromatic, however within about 30 minutes or so it dries down to a creamy fig scent. The dry down in particular really reminds me of Commodity Milk Orchid and I’m really surprised that I don’t see coconut listed as a note. I’m guessing that it’s the tonka bean and violet that probably contribute to a coconut like scent. In This World also has a sweet creamy luxury shampoo vibe that I see described as quite serene and spa like, which I have to agree with. Liis fragrances aren’t over the top in your face (ie: headache inducing) however that does not mean they aren’t noticeable. That is to say, it’s not immediately recognised as a perfume. People would not ask “what fragrance did you just spray?” and instead ask “what’s that nice smell?” when you’re around them, as it has moderate projection and sillage. It’s both subtle and noticeable if that makes sense, which would make it a good work fragrance (healthcare sector approved!) or just for general daily wear. I also think I’m quite lucky in that all Liis scents have excellent longevity on me, lasting for over 12 hours. I can spray it a few hours before bed and still catch whiffs of it after I wake up. I say this as I’ve read a few reviews noting poor longevity, so don’t dismiss it solely off of that as it can be different for everyone. Overall, In This World is a very wearable and an easy reach fragrance, regardless of season or occasion. Liis is quickly becoming a favourite fragrance house of mine that I can depend on. I haven’t smelled by them I haven’t liked so far. I have a feeling that In This World will be accompanying my full bottle of Bo very soon!

In this world is my first experience with the Liis house, and what an experience it is. At first sniff, there’s a ever so slight bitterness, which i suppose is the eucalyptus note. However this settles in after a few minutes and from there on out, the scent goes in all the right places. There’s fragrances and then there's scents that create an aura around you. This very much creates a magnificent envelopment that seems to hit differently than most fragrances that seemingly are trying more and more to project and be loud and punchy, perhaps trying to leave an impression in an overly earnest fashion. Not “In this world” - where the elegent minimalism of the notes effortlessly blend into each other, and leave you wanting to sniff more frequently than usual. There’s really something about the composition that is engrossing, and leaves me wanting to explore the house more and more. But back to the fragrance itself, it’s marvelous stuff. The notes are discernible if you really want to identify them, but that’s not what this fragrance is about. The crafting of this scent means the notes are very fluid and cohesive, and the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts. In short, in this world makes me feel like this could be a signature scent, in a world where the world itself is at your fingertips. Not in a dream, but in reality

Smells: Very herbal and comforting. The eucalyptus and sage! Uncommon. Sillage: arms length to skin scent after a few hours. Comes and goes. Longevity: Noticeable less and less after the 3 hr mark on skin, but can still smell at 8 hours. Didn't get to try it on clothes. Gender: Unisex. Maybe fem leaning if you're picky. Season: Daytime. Spicy and comforting enough for early fall. Best for Spring and Summer. Usually I like the *idea* of "ethical" fragrance more than I end up liking the actual product. Performance is almost always lacking and the price is almost never worth it. In This World is an exception. The quality is above and beyond what I typically experience from similar fragrance houses. It's a beautiful scent and very unique (to me at least). It's fresh, herbal, a little peppered, and calm. The blood orange is the invite, but the sage and eucalyptus made me stay. It's lasted a surprisingly long time compared to similar, more main stream fragrances. I can't say for sure that I would be willing to pay full price, but I'm definitely tempted. I keep wanting to smell the vial it came in.

An ethereal aromatic. My favourite Liis thus far. All the spa-time staples – eucalyptus, lavender, sage – drift about the party, but let blood orange and fig have their slow dance. I feel like these are usually potent, high-saturation notes so it’s lovely to see how they transform through Liis’s dreamy, greyscale lens. No coconut for me, but I agree it echoes of BBW Coconut Lime Verbena (my first love)! I think the creamy fig paired with the tangy blood orange creates the illusion of a lactonic. Performance is gentle, but one of strongest of the Liises I’ve tried (~6h in fabric). Mental Snapshot: A kindly ghost, the spectral groundskeeper of a costal estate. She’s a bohemian nursemaid, a curious botanist, who enjoys her eternity nurturing the sprawling gardens and chaparral bluffs. They say she’s responsible for the little miracles about the place: plump figs budding from orange trees, lost faces in the whorls of eucalyptus bark. tl;dr: NorCal nymph 🌿🦦

My second favourite from Liis and I just purchased a full bottle! I made sure to go through a few samples first before deciding to buy the full size as I find the price very high for only 50ml. Luckily I had a gift card! I saw someone on TT describe this scent as a forest fairy goes to the spa and that’s the perfect description! I work in a spa myself and this has been my go to work fragrance as it truly fits the vibe with the sage, eucalyptus, blood orange and lavender. It lasts a good amount of time on clothes and fades beautifully on skin. (Lasts about 4-5 hours on skin) I am a big Jo Malone London fan and I honestly think this is the better/more sophisticated version of Wood Sage & Sea Salt.

Fresh green eucalyptus with a thick edge of lemony fizzy citrus gives way to juicy fig with an aromatic lavender updraft that completely enrobes the fig. Sage provides savory earthy qualities. This perfume is heaven for anyone that likes a fresh, aromatic perfume with notes of green but that isn’t overwhelmingly green. Reminds me a little of a spicier, less fig forward Philosykos. Same feeling of cleanness, freshness and naturalness. Some Liis perfumes I have tried don’t stay more than a couple hours on skin, but this one has a 6 hour window where you can really smell it, after that it’s only detected with nose to skin.

I'm developing quite the love affair with Liis fragrances! In This World is a lovely, soft and creamy fig on me with some brightness from the blood orange that lifts this well-blended scent. I'm not getting any coconut, thank goodness, because on me it pulls screechy sunscreen so I totally avoid it. ITW is an elevated Father Figure in my opinion; much more elegant and singular than FF.. I'm looking forward to wearing this in the warmer months especially. In This World joins my other Liis faves Lucienne, Of True Minds, and Studied. All FB worthy and worth the price.

this opens with such an incredibly juicy blood orange note and very fresh, aromatic eucalyptus. It’s so bright and green and fresh. The heart of this has a beautifully powdery violet with very juicy fig. It’s fruity but with herbal and soft powdery accords from the lavender and violet. It’s a really enjoyable blend, with no sharpness. The dry down has some fresh spiciness coming from the sage and it blends with a very creamy woody base. This scent is juicy, fruity, creamy, but with a contrast of very bright and spicy herbal accords in a beautiful blend.

Good lord I would like to bathe in this scent... and I've nearly done just that, emptying the contents of my sample over the course of a few days. It really is gorgeous. All of the notes remind me of my favorite scents of the Northern California coast in the summertime: herbaceous, slightly sweet, reminiscent of the hours spent lounging in the park in dappled afternoon sunshine before the fog rolls in with a chill. Alas, the longevity is similar to the fleeting sun here in July. Beautiful to experience, but not for long before it's gone.

Lasts a good long time compared to Liis’ other scents. After a second wear on a rainy day I am even closer to buying a bottle, such an great fall/winter scent and it smells like a drizzly day on a cold rocky coast. The eucalyptus is a shock at first sniff but it becomes a familiar cool spicy smell the more it grows on you. Fig is there, violet is there, blood orange is there. Kind of smells like a walk along a wet mossy cliff and seeing old stone ruins Udate: bought a bottle I love love it perfect rainy day scent for any chilly rainy day

Very beautiful aromatic fig fragrance! I still love my holy grail (Fig Infusion by Essential Parfums), but this one is lovely. It doesn't project or last quite as much as I'd like it to- but I really do love the addition of juicy citrus and herbal notes of eucalyptus, sage and lavender that makes this fragrance truly special. The violet and tonka create a super smooth and velvety drydown. I've enjoyed all of the Liis fragrances that I've smelled but this one is up there for me!

In This World is one of those fragrances that invites you to slow down. The opening is bright and sparkling, with juicy blood orange that feels almost like peeling the fruit with your hands. As it settles, soft green fig and aromatic herbs emerge, creating something earthy yet airy, fresh yet incredibly comforting. It feels transparent, grounded, and quietly beautiful.🌟 — Ethereal, calming, and deeply wearable, it's one of my favorite Liis fragrances to date.

I fell in LOVE with this scent. Truly feels like I'm smelling a memory. I would visit the Carpathian mountains and the smell of blood orange and violets is very nostalgic to me. I didn't think I would like this scent because the eucalyptus note scared me but it's blended so beautifully in this perfume. Definitely purchasing a full bottle once I'm done with my tester

Beautiful. Reminiscent of Jo Malone's Wood Sage & Sea Salt, but with a richer landscape. It's earthy, calm, light, transparent, and sparkling like calm waves. Not very long lasting (longest wear from Liis would be Bo IMO) but this is lovely. I layered it with Chloe Cedrus to amp up the wear time for a summer night - truly recommend.

This is an absolutely beautiful smell that developed more on my skin than I expected. It’s by no means strong and it didn’t last more than a few hours, but I LOVED catching sniffs of the lovely scent as I moved around. So wearable it’s crazy. I wish it had a little more oomph to it, but the full bottle is tempting me nonetheless.

My favorite Liis scent I’ve tried so far. This is what I imagine an angel smells like. Clean, bright, ethereal. It’s very light though, and I find the price tag to be a bit too expensive for the performance. For that reason I won’t be purchasing this. However, if you enjoy light, short-lived scents, then this might be for you.

Evolves beautifully and I loved every minute!! Starts out very spa-like with the eucalyptus and zingy blood orange. As time goes by, the fig starts to sweeten things. By the end, I smell mostly coconut! Lasted a good 8 hours from my test spray at the store - I feel like this would be so perfect for a crisp, clear day

Opening is cool and fresh, definitely getting that eucalyptus which sticks around for a little. Gets cozier and more rounded as it develops with that woodiness and fig coming through. I definitely agree with the spa-like reviews and overcast weather vibes. To me this smells so comforting, wealthy, and beautiful.

This is a bright day veiled by the white lace of nostalgia. A sunny silky memory with a juicy bite and powdery goodbye. A lush world indeed !

The fig note comes off as coconutty but very fresh. It reminds me of the old school bath and body works lime coconut scent but in a good way
