Simple Lily Scent
BREATHE features slightly dirty lily, the dark quality probably being contributed to by the moss note in this composition. I don't think that it is oak moss, but it is a dark enough green to move this closer to a floral chypre than a floral green, it seems to me. In any case, it smells good, if lily happens to be your thing. This is definitely much more about lily than it is about peony. Certainly lily appreciation is a prerequisite to wearing this perfume, which has good longevity and medium sillage on my skin.
Over the course of testing a variety of Margot Elena's perfumes, it has become clear to me that she has excellent taste. No, her perfumes are not wild and revolutionary, nor are they very complex. Nonetheless, she has a real knack for combining simple groups of notes in lovely ways. BREATHE is yet another case in point: a simple, natural-smelling and satisfying pleasure from the house of Lollia.
