by Demeter Fragrance
A straight-forward, realistic lilac soliflore with a fresh and delicate character. The scent captures the essence of blooming lilac flowers with a subtle powdery drydown, avoiding overly sweet or artificial notes. It’s perceived as authentic and true to the flower, resonating with users who recall lilac bushes from childhood or springtime settings. The fragrance performs well beyond typical Demeter limitations, lasting several hours on skin and longer on fabric—remarkable for the brand. Though sillage is modest and longevity only moderate, it earns praise for its simplicity, naturalism, and value. Its clean, soft floral beauty makes it particularly appealing in spring, and many use it as a standalone or for layering with green, herbal, or creamy scents. Some users find the powderiness or dryness overpowering or even slightly synthetic, which may trigger discomfort in sensitive users. Despite these drawbacks, the scent’s authenticity and affordability keep it popular among fans of realistic floral perfumes.
