What does Lilyn smell like?

It opens with jasmine, lemon leaf and basil, then softens in the heart into coconut, aquatic notes, ylang-ylang and tuberose. The base of kelp, milk, ambroxan and ambergris leaves a salty yet creamy, lightly sweet sea-air feel, with green and spicy touches staying in the background.

Most voters pick spring and summer, mainly for leisure time and evenings. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters read it as somewhat more feminine, though many also call it modern. Diptyque Do Son and Gucci Bloom Acqua di Fiori have a close profile.
