Lilanka Henry Jacques Extrait de Parfum

A big thank you to Sören for the sample of Lilanka Extrait de Parfum :-) This is truly a striking "Flowerbomb." I actually like the scent, but as a man, it feels rather unsuitable for me. I find the fragrance to be very feminine, yet somehow also elegantly crafted (though not so elegant that I could justify the price of a bottle). The longevity is impressive at around 8 hours, and the sillage is also noteworthy.

I can't really dissect the top, heart, and base notes here, as it consistently smells brutally floral. Before I delve into the floral varieties I perceive, it's worth mentioning that it also has fresh, green, spicy, soapy, creamy, and slightly powdery nuances. In my view, the bouquet consists of lilac, freesias, roses, jasmine, a lot of hyacinths, lilies, lotus, lily of the valley, and a hint of tuberose.

This is indeed a well-crafted, fresh, and clean floral fragrance. But as I said, the price...
