by Parfums Dusita
Fleur de Lalita by Parfums Dusita is a classically elegant, refined white floral with a distinctive green galbanum backbone that lends it structure and depth. It begins with a bright, dewy freshness—sharp and herbal—with prominent galbanum creating a chypre-like opening, followed by lush layers of magnolia, jasmine, lily, and ylang-ylang. These floral notes are often described as real and botanical, evoking a garden after rain or a high-end florist shop. As it settles, the fragrance softens into a creamy, powdery white floral with subtle vanilla, tonka, and ambergris, adding warmth without sweetness. The dry down reveals a musky, slightly animalic ambergris base, giving the scent an air of intimacy and erotic subtlety beneath its innocence. The evolution is often described as a transformation from green herbal to florally opulent, with some users noting it fades quickly, though it performs better on clothing than skin. Despite its high price point, the quality of the notes and the natural, balanced composition earns praise from many, particularly those drawn to vintage, romantic, and sophisticated florals.
