WoodyWhat does L.I.L.Y. smell like?
Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, and it leans towards daily, leisure and office wear. Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps quiet. Most voters find it feminine. It has been discontinued.
Truffle sits in the top, lily of the valley in the heart and oakmoss in the base. The green, fresh floral side leads; fruity and sweet touches soften it, while powdery and woody tones stay in the background. Chloé Nomade and Bond No. 9 Riverside Drive have a close profile.
