I love lilac! A good affordable lilac fragrance is Pacifica's French Lilac -- a photorealistic lilac to me -- pretty much wears like a soliflore. cheers, Marisa
I have that too. Really nice scent and the price is right. "A blend of lilac, magnolia leaves, heliotrope, ylang-ylang, hyacinth and subtle notes of nectarine. "
You left out Highland Lilac of Rochester! It was worn by five first ladies of the US, and Rochester has the largest lilac festival in the world! It's divine!
A drop d'issey by Issey Miyake is an amazing lilac perfume if you just want the lilac flowers and it is very powerful and long lasting. So fresh it smells just like a lilac Bush in the spring.
The Arnold Arboretum which is run by Harvard here in Boston has an amazing collection of lilacs. Over 400 plants and 179 types! The range of smells coming from them is something to behold, Sebastian.
To me, lilac is the most sensual fragrance. It-- not tuberose-- is the carnal flower. My favorite? Rochester Highland Lilac. NH is the Lilac State. They got this right. It smells like the boysenberry-colored lilacs in my front yard -- they smell different from white lilacs and blue or pink lilacs. This was the theme of my wedding. I had white lilacs in my bouquet. I wore Mary Chess White Lilac. Unfortunately, they no longer make Sung Sha, because that one was great, too. I am wearing Rochester Highland Lilac today. I put a tiny spritz in the hollow of my throat at 7:00 this morning and can still smell it at 5:30PM.
I just ordered the new Issy Miyake this morning! 💜 My lilac bush is blooming outside right now & it smells so good! I’m using the Fresh Cut Lilacs hand soap from Bath & Body Works too. Such a longstanding springtime memory!!
Roja Dove has a Lilac extrait, that smells like lilac, but lilac is not listed in the notes; apparently the accord was created with heliotrope, violet and oakmoss. That was the most photorealistic lilac perfume that I smelled to date. Beautiful!
😊 today i got my en passant decant and like it a lot. It instantly reminded me of that wonderful lilac tree in front of my grandmas house. a light floral that makes me feel like spring. Beautiful 🙂
THANKS GOD!!!!! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR "Issey Miyake a drop d'issey" FOR A YEAR AND I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!!! I loved that fragrance but totally forgot the name I have been looking for it ever since and never found it, until today when I saw the thumbnail of your video and recognized the bottle, you have saved me, I hope your side of the pillow is always cold, THANK YOUUU!!!! ❤
I agree, so realistic. And the best gardenia fragrance from that line from Yves Rocher. Lucky to still have bottles of both. Sad that they’re discontinued.
Pacifica French Lilac....is surprising really nice !!! Lilacs are/were my favorite flower growing up. We had 4 huge lilac bushes in our backyard....heaven !!! I want to sample the Amouage Lilac Love and the Moderne Desarmant ....and the Fath one.
I adore lilacs! Alas, I no longer live in a clime that supports them. If I had to pick only one bloom with which I could scent myself in perpetuity, it would be lilac. Lilacs and crabapple blossoms are the scent of my youth. Not all flowers have the moxie to succeed as a soliflore - but lilacs do. Eternal spring and melancholy youth, washed with dew and the most beautiful pastel colors. Lilacs.
My granmother wore a lilac from I think caron but can't remember the name. It always smelled gorgeous on her. But I don't have anything lilac for me. I will check the Amouage and the A Lilac A Day. Thank you for another excellent video.
Ooooo , Frederic Malle En Passant sounds good to me. This year I want to buy just two parfumés, En Passant and Lilly of the valley from Cartier because it reminds me of Romanian (my country) springs where Lilly of the valley are the first flowers who bloom very early in the spring. Here in Ontario we do not have spring . I can’t wait to buy this two En Passant and Lilly of the valley from Cartier
Thank you for your video. Lilac is my favorite scent, but it's so hard to find in a long lasting perfume, especially one that isn't overpowered by other notes. I'm now looking forward to trying some of your suggestions. 🙏
Ooh lilac is oh so good. I have been buying up samples of Lilac scents and know 5 of the 10 here. I will buy or find a way to sample the rest. This is the king of flowers It's the best smelling flower to me I love it.
Ok I’m very late to this but I’ve been going down a lilac rabbit hole because I was remembering a scent called Crème Bouquet by Stilla from the early 2000s. It was a beautiful creamy lilac scent. I adored it at the time but it’s discontinued. I’ve heard that A Drop d’Issey is similar! 👀
First video on lilacs I have seen on RUclips. Been waiting for it but somehow I knew you would be the one to do it first. I'm going to check out your first three since those got you into enjoying lilac perfume. Thank you for a great video.
Lilac is the first note that got me interested with scents when i was a kid. They existed in these soft rubber balls that you break to release fragrance.. i remember the lilac ones smelling the best. Im still using lilacs scents for my toilets lol
i love the smell of lilac flowers! You are right, there are not many perfumes that feature the note unfortunately. The only one i tested so far is trussardi-my name. it's really nice! it also has violets and vanilla, so it's also sweet and powdery. I am really eager to test lilac love, the drop d'issey and the lilas exquis, they really sound like my cuppa tea
Lilacs remind me of spring at least the smell and the look of the flowers but never owned any lilac perfume. I will take your recommendations and order a few samples.
Thank you so much for this video, Lilacs are my all time favourite natural scent, I wait all year for those two weeks of them blooming! I have been wanting to buy myself a perfume for a long time now(buying a perfume is a big luxury for me), and I was hoping to find a nice lilac scent :) This video was exactly what I needed, hopefully I can find one to fit me!
Lilac Path by Aerin and En Passant are my absolute favorites! I have 2ml of Vilhelm Lilac a Day, 2ml Amouage Lilac Love, and small 15ml of Lila’s Exquis by Jacques Fath. Vilhelm is way too cut grass green for me, I hardly smell any lilac because the green attacks. Lilac Love is grandpa leaning for me, with the cacao, tonka & patchouli, I don’t like it at all (on me) but I wonder if I could get my husband to wear it, it is a great fragrance. And Lila’s Exquis by Fath is still too green and sharp for my taste, but I’m keeping that one for the adprable cute bottle! 😅 Honestly I was super super bummed by Lilac a Day because I wanted a Vilhem bottle really bad, but none of their fragrances make me crazy. Opus Kore almost made me buy it but it’s just pretty, it’s not intoxicatingly beautiful like I want. Love your channel so much and appreciate all your videos!
Give me lilacs and peonies for the rest of my life and I'd be a happy man forever. When there used to be road side stands selling gladiolas which were my grandmother's favorite we'd have to stop. In Michigan where I'm from there were huge lilac bushes. That was the time when you could buy great ripe berries and peaches especially. Now it's all for shelf life and you barely can pick up a scent and they're underipe, hard. Thanks Sebastian.
I was so excited about the new Issey and loved the opening and part of the mid. BUT, I felt like the ambroxan took over in the dry down and irked me. I think the ambrox lends a masculine edge, too.
hello sir, i've been watching your clips for a few months now and I really like the way you present fragrances and respect your opinion. Currently I am looking for a fragrance for myself , but I just cant seem to find the one I am looking for. To be more on point I would like to find 1 or 2 woody fragrances. Problem is these days there is a lot of oud when they say "woody". I smelled a few fragrances with oud and not a big fan...I might get there in time. What I would like to get is something along the lines of Armani Eau de Cedre, but long lasting and bit more projections if possible. I really really love the smell of cedar , fir tree, pine , oak . Anything alone those lines where the woody is actually the dominant note , not in the background. Thank you in advance.
I was thinking that maybe you could do a video about perfumers that have done niche perfumes but also name 1 designer fragrance that they did. Can you recognize the dna/signature?
I think I heard a bit of an “X rated” when you were talking about Tiziana Terenzi there toward the end. 😅 I find this a completely understandable Freudian slip, as I sit here wearing Lilac Love, feeling heady from it, and thinking of Jeff Buckley or Nina Simone singing “Lilac Wine” .. swoon. This is a fey and irresistible flower in every way. 💜 (and you probably just boosted sales quite nicely) lol 😉
I'm looking for a fragrance similar to Walmart's "Lilac Romance" body mist. It was sold probably about a decade ago but it's one of my favorite smells and I desperately want more of it. Do you have any suggestions?
Have you ever smelled Love, Chloe by Chloe? It's "purple" flowe bomb, but unfortunately it's discontinued. I found a person who is selling it's 75ml bottle and I'm not sure if I should blind buy it
I also don't like the bottle of ISSEY MIYAKE Drop D'Issey, the rubber top feels like cheap toy, although i do like the scent. And Oh no! I didn't see Lanvin Eclat d'Arpège...
OMG just spoke a friend yesterday about lilacs being one of their favorite flowers and forgot to mention the new one in this video. Yes the second fragrance in this video is def a new lilac scent: ruclips.net/video/RbebmaDOkxo/видео.html

Blue bottle 1.2 is an amazing Lilac fragrance. En Passant to me is the most realistic lilac. Sweet Morphine from Ex Nihilo is beautiful as well.

Lilac is a flower of my childhood 💫🤩🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mine too!
A drop d'issey by Issey Miyake is an amazing lilac perfume if you just want the lilac flowers and it is very powerful and long lasting. So fresh it smells just like a lilac Bush in the spring.
I love Aerin’s Lilac Path, so fresh, green, & dewy.

Yes! I'm a medical ethnobotanist and I live in Plymouth. Such an amazing place to visit!
Lilac Path from the House of Aerin. I love lilacs as a note in fragrances.

Pacificas French Lilac is pretty spot on!
Awesome! I just commented that I wish you would do a Lilac list - and here it is!! Next, please do Lily of the Valley!
I absolutely adore lilacs... so comforting and nostalgic. Great video, thanks for posting!
Lilac Love is gorgeous and what started my Amouage obsession actually. That cacao note in it blends so beautifully with the lilac 💜
I love it- so stoked I added it to my collection about a month ago!
I just ordered the new Issy Miyake this morning! 💜 My lilac bush is blooming outside right now & it smells so good! I’m using the Fresh Cut Lilacs hand soap from Bath & Body Works too. Such a longstanding springtime memory!!
Ooh I wish to have a lilac tree one day!! 🌸🌸🌸
I am sampling Lilac Love right now, and I am loving Sebastian! Lisa
I'm from Minnesota. My mother grew Lilac and had giant trees of it in our back yard. Amazing scent.
Roja Dove has a Lilac extrait, that smells like lilac, but lilac is not listed in the notes; apparently the accord was created with heliotrope, violet and oakmoss.
That was the most photorealistic lilac perfume that I smelled to date. Beautiful!
Lilacs , the first thing I planted in my garden. Love them :)
Lilac is soo great! Just got a bottle of Drop d'Issey.
Great video! I'm really eager to try Lilac Love! Another lilac-centric fragrance I love is Lilac Path by Aerin!
A nice perfume with lilac is Trussardi My name,it is perfect for spring.
My favorite is White Shoulders. A marvelous lilac note that is so good in the heat! Men love it!
😊 today i got my en passant decant and like it a lot. It instantly reminded me of that wonderful lilac tree in front of my grandmas house. a light floral that makes me feel like spring. Beautiful 🙂

@@ThePerfumeGuy thankssssss!!!
I absolutely love lilac fragrances. My favorite is Desir de Lilas by Yves Rocher. Probably discontinued now 😔
I agree, so realistic. And the best gardenia fragrance from that line from Yves Rocher. Lucky to still have bottles of both. Sad that they’re discontinued.
I really enjoy Pacifica French Lilac. It is simple, sweet, powdery and just lovely.
@RobKY Most of the old line from Pacifica was the same. Shame they discontinued them.
Pacifica French Lilac....is surprising really nice !!!
Lilacs are/were my favorite flower growing up. We had 4 huge lilac bushes in our backyard....heaven !!!
I want to sample the Amouage Lilac Love and the Moderne Desarmant ....and the Fath one.
I love Lilac! I have Amouage Lilac Love, Vilhelm A Lilac a Day and Issey Miyake A Drop D’Issey. They are my current favourites and I wear them a lot.
I love the Lilac Vegetal from Clubman in the summer as an out of the shower freshie.
My Lilac Love decant arrived today 🤤 Great scent.
En Passant is beautiful too.
A lilac a day smells too oldskool for me.
After my Own Heart is lovely. I've recommended it a few times already to some friends who love lilac just as much as I do. 💜
Highland Lilac of Rochester is my favorite lilac perfume. That’s my favorite lilac.
Great offerings in this video. I want to check them out.
Thanks!
I adore lilacs! Alas, I no longer live in a clime that supports them. If I had to pick only one bloom with which I could scent myself in perpetuity, it would be lilac.
Lilacs and crabapple blossoms are the scent of my youth.
Not all flowers have the moxie to succeed as a soliflore - but lilacs do.
Eternal spring and melancholy youth, washed with dew and the most beautiful pastel colors. Lilacs.
Great list and I enjoyed it and me and my wife are going to try these fragrances and have a blessed 🌙
Ever done a carnation-focused review? I adore carnations, but they are hard to find in perfume.
My granmother wore a lilac from I think caron but can't remember the name. It always smelled gorgeous on her. But I don't have anything lilac for me. I will check the Amouage and the A Lilac A Day. Thank you for another excellent video.
I love lilac, and it always bloomed around my birthday (in Chicago), so I always have loved it
Ooooo , Frederic Malle En Passant sounds good to me.

Did you find one that does not have a lot of other notes and really just smells like fresh lilacs?
My favourite flower!
Ooh lilac is oh so good. I have been buying up samples of Lilac scents and know 5 of the 10 here. I will buy or find a way to sample the rest. This is the king of flowers It's the best smelling flower to me I love it.

One of my favorite flowers I will check these out soon Sebastian. Thank you for these notes specific videos.
I was just out with my dog and I was smelling every lilac blooming. My home scent. I want all of these perfumes now 💖
Guerlain Idylle is my favourite lilac with all its flankers. Beauty!
I am most intrigued by the Jacques Fath. I love all of those notes!💜
Yes please on the Lilac fragances!!!! Thank you so much!!!
My favourite spring smell! ✌🏽❤️🇨🇦
Mine too!
Lilacs are my favorite flower! I enjoy Aerin’s lilac fragrance, too.
I just discovered Aerin's Lilac Path. It is such a beautiful lilac fragrance.
Ooh love the smell of Lilacs.
This is a pure lilac fragrance like smelling the flower without a lot of other notes getting in the way or competing.
How is the longevity?
It is not a super long lasting fragrance but better than a lot of lighter florals.
I love the smell of Lilac! Thanks for the video, I will definitely check these out!

Hello hello! I love Lilacs!! :)
I Love Lilac, one of my favorite flowers....En Passant is my favorite fragrance with Lilac.
I love lilac scent. I should check a few of them out. Thanks for a great review!

Elizabeth W of San Francisco has one called Lilac. To me smells pretty spot on like lilac.
I'm here because my new face wash by estee lauder smells like lilac and I need a gorgeous lilac fragrance.
YES. Lilacs are gorgeous. Also try the new Fragonard:

I do love lilac and I got Lilac Love about a month ago. I want to try Lilac Path one day.
Want to try A Lilac A Day from the sound of it!!

I usually do honeysuckle or jasmine but I love lilac candles so ill have to try one of these
I love lilac and lily fragrances, so will look into these.🙏💗
Weee! I’m excited to watch this video!
It's not a note I wear but i like the way flower smells.
Question please. Can men wear floral scents ? Thanks.
Love lilacs, love lilac perfumes. Must check these out...

Among all the Ten Lilac Scents, uhmm.. which can you recommend that's good to wear in a tropical weather? Or good for All Day Wear?
Oddly enough, En Passant reminds me a bit of Viper Green.
Thanks alot for this great video ! My favorite sent of all times 💘
Ooh nice!!
I wish I would find this video sooner, it took me soo many hours to find any good perfume with the lilac. Thank you 💜
Perfect spring 🌸🌸🌸
Great job! Great video!
Thanks for the list, u should try lilac from amouage, it is really good
Love lilac in fragrances and water Lilies 🥰
Ooh, I would try a lilac a day
lovely list!
I was so excited about the new Issey and loved the opening and part of the mid. BUT, I felt like the ambroxan took over in the dry down and irked me. I think the ambrox lends a masculine edge, too.
I personally agree re Ambroxan but so many people say MFK baccarat rouge 540 which is full of Ambroxan is very feminine leaning! Go figure!! 😀
You missed a great one, Aerin Lilac Path
I feel like Gucci Guilty has a lilac note. Anyone know for sure?
Such a gorgeous flower.
Big fan of Ex Nihilo's Sweet Morphine and Puredistance's Opardu
I wasn't able to get the Ex Nihilo but am aware of it. I didn't know about P Opardu. Will check though! :)

@theperfumeguy what's the most masculine or unisex one out of the lot?
Lilac love is my fav😍
En Passant was 💜 at first sniff!

And Oh no! I didn't see Lanvin Eclat d'Arpège...
I know call the perfume police!
@@ThePerfumeGuy I know! But they are working on Donut Gourmet Fragrance now.
I love Lilac 😋
I seem to recall that lilac is a note that is very hard to create /replicate since you can't get it from the flower, is that right?
Purplelight by Salvador Dali
Any new, noteworthy unisex lilac fragrances being released since this video?
OMG just spoke a friend yesterday about lilacs being one of their favorite flowers and forgot to mention the new one in this video. Yes the second fragrance in this video is def a new lilac scent: ruclips.net/video/RbebmaDOkxo/видео.html
