Amouage Lilac Love Extrait
Description
Lilac Love is Amouage's floral-powdery ode to a single spring bloom, created by Nathalie Lorson and Élise Bénat and launched in 2016 as part of the brand's Secret Garden collection. Heliotrope, lilac, gardenia, jasmine, peony, and rose open in a lush floral bouquet before a soft cocoa-tonka heart and a powdery vanilla-sandalwood base bring it down to a warm, skin-close finish.
Scent Character
A floral-powdery gourmand: a multi-floral top (lilac, gardenia, jasmine, peony, rose) over a cocoa-and-tonka heart, closing on vanilla, sandalwood, and patchouli. Reviewers consistently describe it as soft, powdery, and above-average in longevity for a floral.
Translation: a soft, powdery multi-floral with a cocoa-vanilla warmth underneath, romantic rather than sweet.
