White Lilac

This smells like white lilacs but lilac flowers that have been super concentrated into a perfume. It has the same white smell, not purple, white. This blooms on the skin like a translucent halo. I feel on my head is a crown of white lilacs.This is a perfume that makes me feel I am living in another time, another place. A past that I have never experienced but wished I had. There is such a porcelain white feeling in this perfume I have never encountered before. Green, but not sharp, extremely white but doesn't smell like jasmine, a soft spiciness that is felt like a gentle first kiss just barely brushed against the lips. Passion restrained out of necessity, but still there, embarrassed or to composed to guarded to completely express itself. This composition is supported by a gentle muskiness that doesn't seem out of place but rather goes with the mood of innocence that this perfume creates. A fragrance of a bygone era, white dresses and gloves. Lace umbrellas to shade delicate skin from the sun. A stroll through a well kept lilac garden but only those that are as white as snow. Breathtakingly beautiful.

Lilac scents done well is like searching for a unicorn. It needs to be sweet and heady but not too much, and not watery and anemic either. If your persuit has you chasing the lilac note, I highly recommend the trouble to go vintage. Vintage has a richness needed for this flower as well as gardenia. Mary Chess white lilac is the goldilocks of a lilac soliflore. Its straight, unapplogetic lilac. Patou Vacances and the heart of Parure by Guerlain seem to possess the best lilac notes in my opinion. A lovely lilac romantic fragrance of years gone by. Ultra feminine

There’s a big difference between purple lilac and white lilac, if you have them in your garden you know what I’m talking about. True to its name, White Lilac is a realistic white lilac in full bloom, it even has that sharp, bright, green note. With a gentle musk in the dry down, this is quite stunning. Leans femme and vintage, a perfume of a bygone era.

Utterly in love. Vintage nips smell like they were made today. Fresh, crushed lilacs with some musk to deepen it. Sweet, heady and perfect for spring. This is a LOVE for me. Any lover of true florals should try this. One of the best lilacs made.In the final drydown it becomes a floral aldehyde.

An old fashioned perfume. A heavy, sweet floral scent. Lovely, but also it's got a touch of that bouquet on the second day, oil distilled, drenching the room floral scent. I'm glad for having the experience of it, but I'd consider this one a bit too Downton Abbey to wear myself.
