Blue Violet and White Lily

Don't worry, I won't bore you with a fairy tale interpretation, but since these are supposedly the main characters of this perfume, I wanted to at least make a connection to the fairy tale character of the scent.

To begin with, it is, as the name suggests, almost a pure floral fragrance. However, the two mentioned main figures are just part of a whole ensemble, and to be honest, I can't distinctly smell them.

The top note contains the usual citrus suspects, thereby emphasizing the fresh, spring-like mood of the perfume.

In a flash, we move on to the main part, where the lover of light floral scents is treated to a subtle bouquet of flowers. Whether violet and lily are dancing here, I can't say, as too many blossoms swirl around me, only to be creamy slowed down by a hint of musk.

I must admit, I've had worse from this fragrance direction, and I feel a bit reminded of the first scent from the brand Iceberg, which, if I'm not mistaken, had a similar floral theme.

Anyone who has a Rituals boutique nearby and enjoys floral fragrances should definitely give this one a try.

A very pleasant scent with great longevity. Initially citrusy, later it becomes woody, similar to She Wood. Definitely worth trying.

Well, I prefer roses over violets, but a nice lily can smell really good, like the Lily of the Alpes from The Crown Perfumery. Are you still going to categorize it??
