Bergamot, raspberry, and greens create a dazzling opening. A moment later, it appears: the soft, purple sweetness of a lilac bush dancing on the air of an evening walk. Ineke Rühland’s composition gradually turns from fresh floral to warmth as its sandalwood base settles in. Her lilac is a photorealistic—and ultra-romantic—scent that proves this forgotten flower has a powerful place in perfumery.
The Notes
Notes include bergamot, raspberry, crisp green foliage, lilac, sandalwood, heliotrope, and musk.
