Lilac Path

Lilac and jasmine lead, while orange blossom wraps them in a creamy, sweet softness. Galbanum and angelica seed add a green, cool side, and the powdery accord rounds off the edges of the flowers. The notes don't unfold in stages; the scent reads as one continuous bouquet.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays close and is noticed at a short distance. Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure, daily wear and the office named most often. It mostly reads feminine. Jean Patou Vacances and Guerlain Idylle Duet Jasmin-Lilas have a close profile.
