Blackberry Lily

Blackberry Lily opens with a bold, green-tinged blackberry and black currant, leading into a bold lily-of-the-valley note that some find overpowering in the early moments. It quickly evolves into a beautifully balanced, complex perfume with a smooth caramel-sweetness and a dewy, aromatic floral base that includes magnolia, rose, and davana. The mid and dry down reveal a gentle integration of woody notes—cedar, vetiver, patchouli, and amber—that add depth and warmth without dominating the fruit-floral heart. While the initial burst can be sharp or overwhelming for some, many describe it as a soft, lingering 'jellybean' or 'berry jam' scent, especially after 30–60 minutes, when the green and floral notes settle. It's widely regarded as elegant, feminine, and highly wearable during spring and fall; its intimate-to-moderate sillage makes it suitable for office wear or evening events. Some users find it lasts longer than expected despite its moderate longevity rating, but others feel the scent evolves into a slightly earthy, patchouli-heavy drydown that can be disconcerting. The scent recalls nostalgic perfumes like older Victoria's Secret Victoria or Miss Dior Absolute Blooming, with a refined gourmand identity that avoids cloying sweetness. Layering with other perfumes (like Under the Lemon Trees or Nemat) is praised for enhancing its projection and longevity. However, a few experience physical discomfort due to the intensity of the berry note—some report nausea, metallic sensations, or a 'soapy' or 'washed' feeling, which may relate to individual skin chemistry. Overall, the perfume is described as familiar yet unique, intimate, and satisfyingly complex in its unfolding.
