Lilac opens on a floral, powdery note, and gooseberry in the heart adds a fruity, lightly green edge. In the base, white amber softens everything and sweetens the scent as it settles, keeping the freshness intact.
Longevity and sillage are moderate, and most voters pick spring and summer. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, and it sits comfortably between masculine and feminine. Bella Des Lilac & Gooseberry and Guerlain Idylle (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
