L.I.L.Y Absolute

This has a rather harsh opening which is rich in pepper and spices. Although I find the opening harsh it does settle into a woody sweet floral which morphs into a softer sweeter amber and patchoili wrapped up in a dominant woody note. This is a dark and sensous perfume, each note is well defined and reminds me of an English countryside. A very classy and beautiful perfume which is deep and elegant. The lily of the valley smells gorgeous in this and I am complemented whenever I wear it. My only critism is that for the price and considering that this is an EDP, the longevity is ridiculously short lived. I get maybe 2 hours and it's gone!

This one is the most feminine, light, soft, gentle fragrance I have ever owned (in my collection there is over 100 perfumes full size and most of the leading houses, my Fragrantica wardrobe is not complete yet). It was a blind buy, based on your guys reviews:) Thanks again dear Fragrantica that I have discovered you :)If you want to feel a real woman - wear this scent :)

This fragrance smells wonderful and clean. I had a coworker ask me what I was wearing and where could she buy it. I wore it and it lasted practically all day. It was soft enough to not overpower others while at the same time being soft and feminine, sexy, and sweet.

Pricey and way too much pink pepper ..... Burned my nostrils when I tested it... I wanted to like it... Because of the bottle.... But I walked away with another bottle... Sorry Stella, I usually love your fragrances but this was a big no.
