Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
It lives up to its name in every way: a very natural lilac that hits hard and dominates the blend, with a green angelica note that makes it fresh, feminine, and perfect for those who love this flower.
Aerin did a masterful job with a minimalist cut; the lilacs are hyper-realistic and natural with premium quality. While there are other notes, the lilacs take centre stage. It’s elegant, feminine, pure, and peaceful, ideal for a wedding. Longevity is extremely high, trail is medium. Try it before buying.
I completely agree: it smells of freshly cut lilacs, with that fresh stem quality from the green note. It’s super organic, nothing like other florals. The trail is intimate but projects just enough to enjoy on my own. It lasts about 6 hours, though I reapply often because it’s intoxicating to feel that floral burst again.
Bought it blind because it was half price (this scent only). It smells unlike anything I know. The fragrance seems a bit odd, too floral at first, but after a few minutes it feels much better. Either way, it’s unique and elegant, perfect for special occasions. I also have Ikat Jasmin (also on offer) and find it a dream. No one could guess what perfume it is given how exclusive it is here in Chile.
I bought it blindly on offer and it smells different from anything I know. At first it’s an intense floral, but then it improves; it’s unique and elegant for special events. No one in Chile guesses what it is. I also have Ikat Jasmin, which is another dream.
I couldn’t resist after trying A Drop d’Issey and seeking out lilacs. It shares jasmine and orange, but they are very different. Lilac Path is spring-like, with lilacs standing out and an exquisite green; as it dries, the honeysuckle emerges and conveys calm. It rates 10, but longevity and trail are low for the price. Better enjoyed personally, like a spring walk.
I couldn’t resist it. Since trying my favourite Issey Miyake A drop, I’ve been seeking out perfumes with lilac. This one shares the same jasmine and orange blossom notes. After reading glowing reviews, I bought it as a Christmas present. The truth is, they’re not alike: Lilac Path is distinctly spring-like, with a gorgeous lilac (especially at the top) blended with fine, exquisite green notes. As it dries down, I detect plenty of honeysuckle. It conveys a sense of calm. I’ve been utterly fascinated; it’s a ten-out-of-ten scent, but it has one major flaw: the longevity and sillage are shockingly poor for the price. I almost view it as a personal indulgence, perfect for when I fancy feeling like a walk through the countryside in spring, crossing hedges of lilacs and other flowers.
FRESH LILACS WITH A MORNING DUSTING This evokes a bouquet of lilacs plucked early in the morning. You can also detect jasmine and galbanum, which adds green nuances. It’s a linear, soft, fresh floral scent with a woody undertone. The high quality of the ingredients is evident; it doesn’t have a strong sillage, just enough to be noticed by those around you. It lasts all day (10 to 12 hours). A beautiful fragrance.
Fresh lilacs with morning dew. Evokes a bouquet plucked at dawn, with jasmine and galbanum adding a green note. It’s linear, soft, and floral-fresh with a powdery touch. High-quality ingredients, a moderate trail perfect for sharing, and lasts all day (10-12 hours). Beautiful.
Creamy, elegant, and timeless bouquet with jasmine taking centre stage. First-class ingredients; the lilacs are natural at first, but the jasmine emerges majestically and takes command. Reminds me of Bouquet de la Reine or Diorissimo, an elegant bride on her special day. The moderate trail suits it well—it shouldn’t be overpowering. The longevity is exceptional; I can still smell it after eight hours, and even more on clothes. Thanks, Ziggy.
The name fits perfectly: the queen is the lilac, natural and pure. It surrounds you with flowers; it’s the protagonist but makes a great team with the jasmine. Smells like a sunny spring day; it’s one of my favourites with top-tier ingredients. As it settles on the skin, a powdery note emerges, and I detect a green nuance not listed in the pyramid. It’s for dressing up in joy, femininity, and grace, for warm days and informal occasions. Smells delicious, contemporary, not vintage. Moderate trail, high longevity. 10/10.
