Lilas Exquis vs. Love at First Sight

This is a deviation from the usual tuberose perfumes I wear but it's absolutely lovely! It's an elegant, exquisitely crafted perfume.
I can detect most of the notes listed from the progression of green hyacinth in the opening, to honeyed acacia blossom, and then the lilac with green notes from angelica supported by some creaminess from the lily and magnolia. By the third stage it smells fairly close to the Une Nuit Nomade "Love at First Sight" perfume that Fragrantica lists as similar, minus the passionfruit note. I don't get much musk after that.
Overall the projection/sillage is very light, mostly a skin scent that doesn't project far, but I'm glad I added this to my collection for a bargain price. Since I have a 100 ml I don't see myself needing to also get UNN's lilac perfume.

Is it En Passant dupe?

It is often compared with En Passant from Frederic Malle brand, and they really are similar! They are quite similar in that watercolor-ish manner and freshness. I think Fath's lilac version is more greenish, especially on the start; I hear well leaves and branches of lilac tree in Lilas Exquis. En Passant is green and crisp too, but less.

Mothballs 2.0

Lime, lilac, violet, magnolia, hyacinth... phew, on paper this is already a very dusty and rusty bouquet. But a few small tricks from Jacques Fath give this old-fashioned arrangement an update and a contemporary drive. Fortunately. But I'm still not entirely happy with "Lilas Exquis"...

"Lilas Exquis" is a slightly different floral. For today's world. Even in the niche. That much is certain. Very tart, very powdery, very unctuous. Completely out of time. And yet still wearable today. This balancing act has my respect. Between grandma and businesswoman. Serious, strict and a little boring. But the fragrance definitely stands out from the clumsy uniformity of today. Without being too cerebral and snobbishly niche. Slightly berry and synthetically juicy, almost fabric softener-like nuances give this floral bouquet the much-needed kick, the softness, the balance. However, I am always left with a hint of mothballs, violet pastilles and other not always pleasant fragrance compounds...

Flacon: purple and linear
Sillage: classic and not blatant
Longevity: five to seven hours, often more

Conclusion: a lilac on a minimal-modern detour... Floral, yet classic, ladylike. Unsweet but never unattractive. Still not quite mine.

Flowers in autumn

First of all: this fragrance is a head note catcher. After a while he drifts off to a petty floral-sweet synthetic freshness, which I won't go into again later on, but which should be mentioned for the sake of completeness
Autumn came fast this year. I'm sitting at my desk, it's wet and cold and grey in front of the window. Not even the matt colours of the dead foliage shine any more and only bear witness to a dwindling memory of the first pale flowers in the cold snow, of the pale pink carpet on sprouting grass, leaving room for shady foliage, announcing the heavy warmth of summer.
Dwindling memory, like the photo album on the shelf, its cover grey with dust. In it, happy moments full of laughing faces, in front of delicately scented flowers, white, pink and blue, next to curved writing on old paper.
Autumn, time of melancholy, sign of transience. Soon the pale foliage is covered by an icy carpet, burying the last memories.
I'm sitting at my desk, and I'm surrounded by a soft whiff of spring that's more than just imagination. It not only awakens the past, but also announces a new bloom. A fragrance announcing a new beginning, rebirth, shy beauty on the way to heavy splendour, the blossoming of a new year as soon as the old one is completely buried under the coming snow. The snow that will be pierced by such delicate, pale flowers, the old scent flowing anew. To the snow that melts under a still weak solar heat, giving new life.
This scent is innocent and pure and girlish.
Outside the cold wind blows the rain-laden leaves from the trees, and I watch with joy and confidence.

It's nonsense to wear this fragrance in the fall. And yet it feels right.
It's nonsense to wear this scent as a man. And yet...

The base is approaching, I have to go to the bathroom. To keep this beautiful idea.

Noble lilac

As the name suggests, this fragrance is absolutely outstanding. It has a certain elegance and at the same time a light, spring-like scent. Lilac is one of my favorite flowers that reminds me strongly of my childhood. Those warm days at the end of May when I came home from school and was enveloped in the scent of lilac blossoms and knew that summer was coming. Oh how I love that scent!
The only downsides I find, if I may nitpick, are that the scent doesn't last that long (although you can smell it for 3-4 hours) and that the price is definitely one of the niche perfumes, so I have to control myself when spraying it. But if you love lilacs like I do, it's definitely worth a sniff test if you get the chance.
