Pur Desir de Lilas
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A powerhouse floral that, despite its name, carves out its own distinct identity. It's truly a "love it or hate it" scent; some find it a gorgeous, natural bouquet, while others are overwhelmed by its potent and sometimes sharp white florals.
This one is pure lilac, bottled. It's shockingly realistic for some, transporting them back to childhood gardens, but others found it a bit too linear or even 'old lady' almond. A true love-it-or-hate-it lilac, but mostly love.
