What does Lilac smell like?

Bergamot opens it brightly, and the heart carries peach, rose, jasmine and violet. The fresh, floral and green character is softened by a powdery, creamy sweetness. Vanilla, ginger and cedarwood set a warm, spicy base underneath.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is presented as unisex. Roja Parfums Semi-Bespoke 5 and Penhaligon's Gardenia have a close profile.
