Is a lilac purple?
Hello you fragrance maniacs, welcome to my latest fragrance comment. It is today about Lillà Lillà by L'Erbolario, a brand that is not soo expensive and has so some quite nice fragrances in the assortment and is thus always worth a look.

Soo, yes my title. Is a lilac purple? Yes, I was almost sure of this, but had to look up due to my pathetically poor knowledge of flowers. And with that, I had to see what a lilac even looks like again... if I hadn't known that what I see in the pictures are just lilacs, I would have outright said lavender to it... God I am really so bad at flowers. Spring is coming soon, maybe I should go out with a nature book and try to identify flowers... I mean, we still have the miserable Corona crisis and there are just less opportunities to do things, so why not expand your flower knowledge, that would be THE opportunity? ... pah... let's see if I do it at all... he he... probably not as usual, so I'll stay stupid forever *sigh* :D

But well, let's get to the fragrance!

The fragrance:
Lilla Lilla starts with floral notes, where I first guess the lilac. Because they have a slightly sweet and slightly dry scent, which comes across to me just from fragrances with lilac known and where I hope that I am not wrong. In addition, there are fruity fragrance notes such as peach, and I would have even guessed plum.
Only a little later, the fragrance becomes warmer and sweet-spicy. One smells jasmine, lilac (and more flowers) and now also tonka, the fruity fragrance notes are now weaker.
To the base, vanilla is added, which makes the fragrance more powdery and sweet. The spicy disappears again towards the end, but it smells in the background again a little more fruity. At the end, the fragrance is delicately floral-sweetish. The vanilla-amber mix in the later base also smells very nice. A really great fragrance!

The sillage and the durability:
The sillage is okay, not so strong, but also not very weak. So is a while from the proximity smellable. The durability I found also not bad, so eight hours he was already good on the skin smellable.

The flacon:
The bottle is wine red and cylindrical. On it stands in golden letters the name and the brand of the fragrance. In addition, there is also a golden-bronze, but matte and cylindrical lid. Is all very simple, but looks good.

@!Conclusion:*
So, the fragrance turned out quite nice. It's nice, not intrusive and although it could seem a little opulent (at the beginning), I would describe it as an all-rounder that can be worn not only on cooler days, but especially quite well in the spring. What I also quite liked is that he does not just smell floral like many other fragrances, but also comes across a little "different", especially in the beginning, a little spicy just. This brings some variety, even if the fragrance itself seems a bit simpler again. In any case, however, it is one of the worth trying fragrances of L'Erbolario and could be used both daily and for going out.

I'm sorry that I can't really identify the other floral scents that emanate, especially in the background behind the lilac here, because as I said, I'm a total sucker for flowers. If I were ever on a date, I could probably only ask for roses in a flower store because I couldn't think of any other flower... hmm... what else is there? Thistle maybe?? :D

Well, that's it again. I hope you are all well and wish you a nice evening, see you :)

Lilac and more
No, "Lilla Lilla" is certainly no Soliflor! The lilac is clearly recognizable, but it seems more like the first violin in a large orchestra. The other participants, obviously sweet and fruity notes, as well as other flowers, I could not clearly name individually. Even if it seems a little crazy: in the further course I have to think a little of "Alien" (or of some of its flankers). How is that possible? Jasmine, vanilla, amber...o.k., these ingredients can be found in many perfumes. The similarity might only be felt by me, friends of the aliens would probably find it absurd, especially since LL is by far not so sillagestark. Towards the end, LL gets a little powdery on me.
Altogether not necessarily a spring-like fresh fragrance (like many other lilac perfumes), but a slightly heavier caliber with a distinct sweetness. Therefore probably rather for spare time or in the evening.

Despite the pretty colour, I find the bottle a bit simple. L'Erbolario already had better designs.

Dark blossoms, a shred leathery and musky. Lilac is there, but other profound and virile nuances hog. With a masculine slant, mysterious.
