Full-Spectrum Lily
Upon application it smells sort of lotiony: velvety soft, fresh white lily and a bit of musk. As it warms up on the skin the heart is revealed as the lily suddenly blooms. What I thought was a delicate white lily now seems more vibrant, spicy and full bodied. It's warm, intoxicating and bright with a nectar like sweetness underpinning the spice. This phase is slightly animalic. Dried down the scent settles into something in between the opening and the heart, it's a softly spiced lily with a gentle sweetness from vanilla and a rounded creaminess from the musk.
Overall Un Lys strikes me as gorgeous, tasteful, classic and chic. It is impeccably constructed. While it in no way smells like Chanel No 5, I could see ladies who love No 5 EDP loving this as well. They share a similar feel and je ne sais quoi. Like No 5 EDP, I love Un Lys but just don't know when exactly I'd reach for it. I'm not polished enough to do it justice...yet.
