Purist lily
I first tested this fragrance in Paris when it was still being heavily courted. I find that it is not a child of its time. It just smells primarily of lilies. That may bore some, delight others, and some may associate rather unhappy, unavoidable occasions with these flowers.
I delight in its authenticity. Somehow, it's like pollen to me, enveloping me in a green-creamy way. Overall, it doesn't seem very sweet, but it does seem a bit powdery or dry. For a monothematic fragrance, I find it expressive. Proof that you don't always need a lot of ingredients to make a good "dish". The prerequisite, however, is that you like lilies in general. The name promises romance and builds up a certain drama. Well, I find him much more unexciting beautiful and little effort to please somehow.
The shelf life is about 5 hours. This is probably rather average. The sillage I feel rather gentle, but at least he caught me once a compliment, which perhaps speaks for the fact that others perceive him more intense than myself.
I find that he has little attachment to specific occasions. For me, he is simple in the best way. Annoys me almost never and goes even in the summer, provided that one applies little.
In my opinion, you can also combine it with other green-floral fragrances. Sometimes I add a spritz when I wear No. 19 Edp by Chanel. This may seem odd, but at least no one has complained.
The feel of the bottle convinces me. The cap is very nicely designed and somehow yet playful, in contrast to the simple bottle. Cool design, somehow timeless.
In summary:
Fragrance 8 of 10
Sillage 6/10
Durability 6/10
Bottle 9/10
