When the purple lilac blooms again...

Finally! Finally, a lilac scent for me! In Pleasures, it was still too invisible - or rather, too scentless.

Here I finally have a lilac scent in front of me, just as I imagined it. Soft, delicate, light, relatively unsweet - like a lilac bush from a reasonable distance. Wonderful!

This green, unsweet lilac freshness is THE counterpoint to the rose scent from the same series by Yves Rocher - released just in time for the upcoming summer - including shower gel and body lotion. Like the rose scent, this lilac is also built on a very light, fine, woody note and exudes the subtlest (and yet very authentic) lilac scent I have ever encountered.

And it lasts better than the rose scent!

Thank you, YR!

I really don't like it at all. Way too cloying, heavy, and soapy for me. Unfortunately, a bad purchase, but luckily it was cheap. So, it stands: YR and I just don't get along!

@Lilau: I like it better because it's less sweet than PDdL.

@Sonnenfee: For me, the lilac lasted about 3 - 4 hours.

@Holly61: I don't know the Brosseau, no, but lilac is usually not my thing. This one is, though, because it's not too sweet.

I really like lilac too. Is it better than Pur Desir de Lilas?
Sounds good anyway.

Does it last significantly better than the lilac predecessor? That one only lasted 10 minutes for me. :)

I just ordered it blindly based on your comment! And that’s despite the fact that "Vanille Noire" was an absolute nightmare for me, and I had pretty much written off YR... I’m so excited!
