Lily. Series Leaves. Comme des Garçons


Pefumer: Florence Idier.


Countains: lily of the valley, freesia, green syringa (lilac tree leaves), dog rose buds.


My favourite floral fragrance ever.
In a word: Excellent.
Lily is the ultimate example of a clean, minimalist, floral perfume that a man can wear, leaving behind prejudices...

Even the juice is quite minimal and linear. Lily starts watery, crisp, sour and fiery with a wonderful dose of muguete blending with freesia (number one in my flower smell charts!), then, develops green with the addition of the syringa leaf and rose buds, turning the perfume into a close-to-skin fragrance.
The result is not sweet at all, as the lilac leaves and the freesia here, are the key: they wash off the suffocating power of the lily, and turn the scent into a bright, clear, simple fragrance.
It's cheerful and uplifting, playful, evocative; gorgeous!

Only one problem raised; endurance; two hours maximum.
