Lilylang Sylvaine Delacourte 2016

In my search for a summer scent, I came across Lilylang.
For me, the fragrance starts with a minimal citrus note. I don't detect the pepper at all. From the very beginning, I have one thought in my mind: The scent has a distinct consistency. It is thoroughly creamy. The fragrance catapults me into a tropical garden of a high-end resort. Sultry ylang-ylang and sweet jasmine take center stage. Musk makes the flowers soft and incredibly creamy. The scent is bright, fluffy. Like a whipped, high-quality body lotion. It has a subtle sweetness. Powdery nuances are also noticeable. In the drydown, it is much more beautiful than at the top.
Lilylang has strength and certainly has the potential to cause headaches for some people. But for me, it reflects lightness amidst all the flowers. In any case, it is beautifully composed. I am not entirely convinced that it won't become annoying at some point. But for now, it's a good candidate for summer when a refreshment isn't necessary.
