PowderyWhat does L.I.L.Y. Absolute smell like?
It opens with black pepper and truffle, a dry, faintly earthy start. At the heart, pink pepper, ambrette seed and lily of the valley bring the floral side forward, clean and powdery. The base of patchouli, oakmoss, amber and blond woods settles it onto a green, soft ground, with the sweetness staying in the background. Guerlain Idylle (Eau de Parfum) and Chloé Roses de Chloé have a close profile.
