What does Garden Lilies smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it leaves a soft trace through the day without filling the room. It reads as unisex, suited to men and women alike.

Plant juice brings a green freshness that meets the watery floral character of the water lily. Ylang-ylang adds a creamy fullness to the flowers, while vanilla and white musk, with a woody touch, soften the whole and close it warm and slightly powdery. Guerlain Cruel Gardénia and Maison Francis Kurkdjian APOM have a close profile.
