Pros & Cons
- ✅ I love fresh lilies. This is super realistic, just like having a fresh bouquet on my credenza.
- ✅ This discontinued lily is inescapably beautiful. This is the Mona Lisa of lily scents.
- ✅ Oh my goodness this is sexy!! I love anamalic white florals, benzoin, spices, and this has it all!

- ✅ Oh my goodness this is sexy!!
- ✅ The closest you will ever get to a giant oriental stargazer lilly.
- ✅ I just adore this scent.
- ❌ It smells as if there is quite a lot of Carnation in amongst the other notes. It smells nice when first applied then fades to a rather dusty, musty and not too nice fragrance.
- ❌ To me, it's just too much vanilla and overwhelmingly sweet. I like my lily scent to be fresh and sharp like Baiser Volé.

- ❌ I don't smell much saffron, but the pepper and clove are certainly present in the background, complimenting the lily in a mellow way. It takes a long time for the lily to give way to the patchouli and musk drydown, which is just a little too subdued for my liking.
