Lillipur

😗 Love at first sniff. I love licorice type notes so some inevitability really. I first note the artmesia and then star anise. It's warm yet dry, a wee bit bitter from the wormwood, resinous (elemis) and herbally. On my skin there is as much warm green notes as incence. A very interesting combination. Very Zen. It doesn't evolve all that much except sadly the green notes fade a bit after an hour and its the incense that hangs in there to the end. It is largely a smoky resin scent with herbal greenness. One to wear when just chilling. It's the scent that suits a confident person who is in tune with nature. Perfectly unisex. It's a very unisex scent. The more I wear it the more I love it. I've been mad about Kilians taste of heaven forever but I couldn't afford it. I think this makes a reasonable substitute for me. I've got a better chance of saving for this one. Good longevity and average sillage.

When my nose first encountered Lillipur, I immediately started reminiscing about Asian cookery. That star anise, so delicious, herbal and woody, dark like licorice, magically cleansing. Combined with bitter, herbal wormwood and frankincense, Lillipur is a powerful, medicinal tonic. Peppery, fresh, complex, counterbalanced by cashmere and patchouli to give this a pulpy feel that is somehow kin to oud. I don't find much warmth in the base, but there is a certain softness that develops with delicate carnation. Lillipur remains cooly energetic and stirring... some kind of witchery in this golden bottle. Perhaps too cleansing to induce an inner exploration of self as is the intent of this creation as this is a definite wakening to my conscience like a 5am alarm clock. Nothing transcendental or soothing for me, but a very unique and curious creation that is all about the perfume, not the wearer.

OMG I've never smelled anything like this before, not even in the niche world. One of the most unique perfumes I've had the chance to try. Star anis, wood, cinnamon. I mean STRONG star anis. The cedar wood, pepper, musk, tobacco and amber notes show up in the drydown but in a subtle way, complementing the composition. It is labeled as oriental woody, I'd rather call it spicy-woody, the oriental notes don't come out so strong. Quite linear, the opening is similar to the drydown, it smells the same after 3-4 hours. It is warm yet there's some freshness in it, can be easily worn in warm weather too! The performance is quite good, both the sillage and longevity is great yet not overpowering.

This fragrance can be labelled as "interesting", at the start it has a loud loud spices (star anise- Sichuan peppers- and the aroma of wormwood) that remains prominent till half the life time of the dry down, other notes pop up with an orchestrated chaos, this perfume is so unique to my nose, it is not something to wear for any occasion, it is for your self to enjoy or to meditate or to simply go to walk by your self. I enjoy wearing it in the evening while reading a book with soft nice classic music in the background. This is not an everyone's fragrance, too unique for that.

A strong wormwood note is greeting me first together with a very kind and gentle lemon and a shy star anise followed by cashmere wood, frankincense and sichuan pepper and some very soft aromatic floral notes added.. The cinnamon is holding back at this stage, but the cedar is fighting for his spot..After a while the notes calm down and the very comforting phase begins: lovely cozy warm slightly aromatic (but nothing harsh anymore) and smoky woody base. Now, I can smell the cinnamon better but still very smooth..Overall a soft smoky woody fragrance with great longevity.

A fragrance that starts awesome and ends with a meh... I like it... especially for the first two hours... to me the dry down is the usual contemporary patchouli, cedar, musk and tobacco. Don't get me wrong, the ingredients are top notch without question IMO. I really like the star anise, wormwood, galbanum and frankincense opening.. the middle is cinnamon, thyme and pepper. Overall a solid 4 out of 5... As always try before you buy. Enjoy!

This is a very smooth,dry and spicy scent, its not for the gourmand crowd, iff you enjoy complex spicy scents this will get you that fix you crave, Olibanum and Anis are the bread and butter that all the other spices work around, you really do get all the notes in the description and its a master at work here in the blending. It will never get hype cause its not what its about, its a unforgiving spice sensation

I almost bought a bottle but my sister got a smell of the sample and said " this smells like the out door mall in Sacramento, like I just graduated and went there to go shopping. " So instead had to buy her the bottle for her birthday. I can't wear the same stuff she wears unfortunately! I still LOVE this stuff, clean, mysterious, captivating. No one has ever smelt this before and people will ask you!

Wow, it has never happened before that I would be the first to review a fragrance. Lillipur is oriental, woody and spicy but all those notes are soft and well balanced. No nausea, no headache just pure loveliness. It's on my want-list now. Only problem is where can I find this?

Didn't expect to love it so much, with all this tepid comments I am happy I followed my instinct. It's lovely classy all-rounder it reminds me of Kenzo Air with the elegance of Ambre Sultan with better quality.

it is great, it is unique, meditation sort of scent, but it is too spicy to my nose, i have it and more than 80% still in it, if you are in UAE and interested in swapping, contact me please.

This is really great for a lover of Tiger's Nest, who wants something they can wear daily. It's a more complex scent, but somehow less of a production. And, imo, goes with all occasions.

my bottle is 90% of its volume, if you are in UAE and interested in buying/swapping it, DM me please.

What makes this unique is the star anise essential oil which is blended rather well (it's one of my favorite oils to work with and it can be challenging to make anise palatable for people). It's sweetened just enough so that it comes across like a mild rootbeer or licorice--about 20% of the body. The fact that they even used anise oil at all shows that they were willing to take a risk. I commend them for this. How I would make it better: as it starts to dry down, I get a slightly powdery cumin note that sort of takes over the fragrance. It's not body odor cumin. However, it makes it come across similarly to Bentley for Men Absolute. If they took the cumin-like chemical out, the regular incense stick note could shine more. But that cumin note just stifles the fragrance, in my opinion. Because of this, I would give it a 4.5 out of 5, but because Fragrantica won't let you vote in such a way, I'll have to give it a 4. Save yourself some money and just buy Bentley for Men Absolute.

If you like originaly developing scents, inspiring and tasteful, this is a good choice. Of course, if you also like spicy balsams. Olibanum is main note of the perfume and it will follow another phases of the composition. The opening is mostly about sweet anise, slowly passing in spicy florals. Carnation is the most noticable, I think. Unusual combination of benzoin and tobacco is actually quite comforting base. The musk is very subtle, cashmeran and cedar turns fragrance in graceful woodiness which is melted in amber and tonka. Lillipur is harmonious, exceptional and rich scent. Maybe not simple choice but definitely a piece of mastery.

Love this fragrance. Sometimes I layer it with Intense Cafe by Montale and it truly shines. It's a seductive woodsy incense resin mix that is calm and endearing. Easy to get carried away with harsh woods, this scent remains grounded and meditative, as though absorbed in its own thought. Sillage is long and powerful, especially when layered. However, it is soft - not nauseating nor headache inducing. Spicy velvet, pure lust. PS- to all wondering where you can purchase, try lucky scent :) Decent price, $145 per 100ml PPS- if you love Tom Ford's "Oud Wood", you will be drawn to this as well

Mmmmmm this magic potion opens with a cool, juicy, silvery green, incensy vibe. It's almost chewy in density at the initial spray. It's oddly calming and soothing and it lingers there for the first hour or so. This is so beautifully meditative but also very transportive in that I feel like I've woken up on a plush bed of moss in the midst of a deep, lush forest with fairies curiously gazing at me in the moonlight. As it dries down I get hints of my favorite parts of Alexander McQueen's Kingdom, truly it's simply intoxicating!

Searching the internet and YouTube No one had anything good to say about this one And spraying it on my skin I understand the hate But I tried it on my clothes and it wasn’t bad It’s different and rare to find such fragrance That you simply can’t put to words It does last for a good while The dry down is the best thing to me One thing is for sure this is not a crowd pleaser

I should start by saying this smells great and has subtle performance. This seems to be the kind of scent that smells different to everybody. My interpretation is probably unique. To me, Lillipur smells like my grandfather. Whether that is natural old man smell or the smell of the apartment, this is what it reminds me of. I'll probably buy this in his memory.

Fou d'absinthe de l'artisan parfumeur. Non ci sono cisterne dorate di incenso fumante come viene ingannevolmente descritto ma assenzio e note verdi fredde e boschive scaldate da legno e patchouli. Molto carino sicuramente ma non si discosta dal fou d'absinthe.
