How lilac smells
Unfortunately, unfortunately discontinued. I still have a vial of 10 ml and apply the fragrance in very selected moments. The nose behind this perfume is Jérôme Epinette - Byredo Ball d'afrique and some others from the brand, Commodity, much of Vilhelm
(16 fragrances), Zara's Tonka Wood, amazingly good nose behind many Zara fragrances.
The story behind the brand: its founder Jan Algren remembered his childhood and summer vacations in a beach hut. And also Paris of the early 20th century - its colors, life energy and atmosphere he wanted to perpetuate in the fragrances.
One builds on his memory and draws inspiration from travels.
You let yourself be carried away by a distant time or place. The Vilhelm brand finds its namesake in Jan's grandfather. An elegant, charismatic personality, he helped inspire Jan's appreciation for classic aesthetics and early 20th century glamour. Vilhelm fragrances often contain
an allusion to the past without being stuck in the.

As a child, I was drunk on lush, beguiling lilac scent in May, because our lilac hedge went around the property, almost 500 meters. Because of lilacs, May is my favorite month and to this day lilacs are my favorite flower. My mom carried heavy bouquets of lilacs to work every day, delighting one colleague after another. As luck would have it, I now live on a street filled with lilacs.
By the way, there are very few true, well done lilac fragrances, without them drifting into something else.

What is the lilac like? Beguilingly fragrant, but unfortunately short-lived. Already after 1-2 days withered and musty. The same is the lilac here: enchanting, magical and short-lived. I smell lilac in its most authentic form, I smell non-existent lily of the valley and jasmine.

Floral, beguiling and genuine. A true treasure for true lilac fans. Only they recognize the wonderful, lifelike art that has succeeded in being captured in a bottle.

Floral, lilacich, but not sweet. Beautiful, creamy lilac, very natural. Perfect for the spring. Sillage good, durability with me unfortunately low. But this also reflects the transience of this flower. I'm seconds back 30-35 years, it's spring and I'm standing in front of the lilac bush. Lilac sea exactly said. I close my eyes and breathe in very meditatively, deeply and expectantly, the world, it does not exist for a moment. There is only lilac and me. It could hardly be more natural and authentic. The green preserves from sultry sweetness.
Unsweet, pure, very natural. Balanced and beautiful. Natural stronger scent of lilac.
Compare with A lilac, En Passant is greener and less lilac, Amouage Lilac love is a little oma.

Perfection for a moment. Pure happiness. At the beginning almost standing in full splendor, but at the same time already radiating this delicate, clean freshness.
Very true to nature captured. A great art, since no fragrance can be extracted from the flowers (mostly created from a mixture of jasmine, ylang-ylang, neroli and vanilla).
Graceful. So perfectly composed that, despite monotheme, no boredom arises.
Natural unexcitedness. For me, the most beautiful lilac fragrance so far. A violet dream.

Worship flower goddesses
Seldom have I regretted it so much not to have blindly tested a fragrance.
What would I probably have smelled without knowledge of the pyramid, even without knowledge of the name?
I think I would have smelled lily of the valley. Right? I don't know. Unfortunately, I knew the name and had also, unfortunately, looked at the pyramid, because that was the only reason why I wanted to test the scent.
And so I sprayed and smelled: Lilac
The scent of lilac is very luxuriant, just as lilac smells, without restraint it draws from the full. And just as we know it from lilacs, it hardly ever stays in vases, soon becomes limp, hangs down sadly and begins to be modern. This modern appeal is also authentically present here. It disturbs me, but I notice that the musty smell disappears quickly with more distance of my nose from the spraying place. Already in a distance of about 20 cm I don't notice it anymore. I breathe on.

After perhaps 20 minutes, a note that was initially only present as an undertone has gained in intensity, the ratio is reversed and now this note is in the foreground: In my nose it is jasmine, powerful, Indolic. But also here: already at a distance of perhaps 40 cm from the nose the Indolic is much less and is still okay even for me.
In the course of time, my lilac-lily-of-the-valley becomes more and more beautiful, because now the bile factor is completely gone and the Indolic of the jasmine slowly decreases again to disappear completely soon.
Only after a delay of perhaps three or four hours do the other flowers slowly withdraw and let the fragrance fade away gently for a few more hours.

A Lilac a Day is extremely floral, almost exclusively floral, yet beguiling and lifelike.

Three times now I have worn it for a whole day. I could never tell if I smelled lilacs or lilies of the valley. Depending on my imagination I could make the note tilt between the two. In the middle test I also smelled wonderful freesia, as natural and intense as the other flowers. Only jasmine was there every time.

This fragrance is truly unique and uniquely lifelike. In my opinion, it is only something for the very distinctive flowery fans, who are not afraid of the intense intensity of an unsweet humming with occasional hints of Indian and a temporary hint of transience.

But if you like that, you might have found your flower goddesses to worship here
