What does Lilas Exquis smell like?

It opens light and airy with hyacinth, blueberry and bergamot. In the heart, lilac and violet lead, while magnolia and linden blossom soften the floral core. The base settles into musk and ambroxan, where the powdery, creamy side comes forward.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most common settings. Most see its character as feminine. Its profile is close to Juliette Has A Gun Gentlewoman and Penhaligon's A Kiss of Bliss.
