Soft jasmine and tuberose
I tend to love perfumes which start slow and have a progressive developpment towards strong, like fortissimo. Those which talk softly and then turn their volume to the maximum. And I do not have such a case here.
Although so well composed, Lelong welcomes you with a lot of fig scent , a little bit pungent, followed by the delicate orchids and jasmine, and then the fleshy tuberose who takes the stage and allows just glimpses of musk and vetiver. The developpment is toward soft and warm. A white/yellow perfume with good longevity but short sillage, which is another minus in my rating.

...and the Oscar goes to...
That this fragrance is still produced by Lucien Lelong and has its own bottle design alongside Indiscret (all other fragrances are sold in the same bottles) is not surprising at all.

Lelong pour Femme is truly a cinematic experience, a top-class Chypre! And I say this as someone who usually avoids Chypres like a cat avoids water! But I can recognize when I have a truly great fragrance in front of me.

The top note exudes spring, featuring lilac of the finest kind, underscored by a touch of bitter bergamot that takes the playfulness out of the lilac and lends it elegance.

The heart note, on the other hand, does not prioritize any single bloom, but presents a lush, rich floral bouquet that is unparalleled in its beauty. It is dreamy how wonderfully the flowers are crafted here. No single note screams for attention, no intrusiveness, just the grand cinema!

The sillage is commensurate with the fragrance: expansive and envelopingly beautiful. The longevity is enormous, Lelong pour Femme lasts without much difficulty for 24 hours.

Its base is dry and woody-green, with musk playing (to my delight) a subordinate role. If I were to assign a color to the base, it would be dark green like a mossy forest.

Lelong pour Femme is a stunningly beautiful, very large Chypre. It deserves more attention than it seems to have received so far. Perhaps it’s because it is not available in perfumeries, but only directly from Lelong on the website?

Those of you who love Chypres - test it! Absolutely! Because this one is something truly special!
