Un lys Serge Lutens 1994

Simply the most beautiful lily scent I've encountered. On my skin, it's clean and transparent, with a subtle green freshness and just the most delicate hint of musky spice. Thank goodness it's not weighed down by jasmine, tuberose, gardenia or any other big white floral. It's got just a touch of vanilla, but not drowning in it, so the effect is softening without being sickeningly sweet. It's creamy without being cloying or foody. Classically beautiful and sexy, sensuous, unapologetically cool and elegant, I love it.
